American Ambassador


"A faithful messenger... refresheth the soul.... As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country" (Proverbs 25:13,25).  "I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world....  I am debtor.... I am ready.... I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" (Romans 1:8-16).

America, from shore to shore,
God shined on you His face,
And made you an ambassador
And debtor to His grace.

America, now thank the Lord
For your unique foundation
Upon which blessings have been poured:
The Gospel of salvation.

America, do not forget
That God has blessed you so!
You bear the Gospel and the debt
To let the world know.

America, be not ashamed
Of your foundation laid!
The name of Christ you once proclaimed
Should never be betrayed!

America, it's time to turn,
Before it is too late,
To God again that you may learn
His mercy made you great.

America, there is a way
That you may be restored,
If you are humble and will pray
And turn to seek the Lord.

We thank You, Lord, that You addressed
This promise to Your own;
Revive America so blessed
To make Your glory known!
