I’ve often thought about it…
What if it ever came to this?
Would I be strong enough to stand?
Have the courage to insist
That Jesus is my Savior
When living meant I must deny?
Would I just give my head to those
Who claim I have to die?
It’s not happened in America…
But who says it never will?
We’re living in a heartless world
Where killing Christians is a thrill!!
In the enemy we’re fighting
Religious cruelty runs rife!
They think they’re doing god a favor
When they take a Christian life!
Of course, their god is not Jehovah!
And shame on those who don’t agree!
But according to their holy book
The Christ did not die on a tree.
So they serve a different Jesus…
They serve a god whose holy call
Is insisting that they die for him
When our God died for all!
There’s been changes in our country…
The government insist that we
Are no more a Christian nation
And it’s changed our history.
Suppose we’re facing other changes?
Are we prepared for a reply
Suppose we’re asked to denounce Jesus?
Suppose it is deny or die?
O, let us pray it never happens...
That God continually protects
And keeps our country free from tyrants
Who enjoy chopping off necks.
O, let us pray for a revival...
That this nation turns to God...
That no conquerers will ever
Rule upon this piece of sod.
Let us sing "God Bless America"...
Let it be our heartfelt cry! O, sweet Jesus, let us never
Have to choose deny or die.

Revelation 17:14
- These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King
of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen,
and faithful.
Proverbs 29:25
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever
trusts in the LORD is kept safe.
Luke 12:4-5
I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those
who kill the body and after that have no more that
they can do. "But I will warn you whom to fear: fear
the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast
into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!
1 Peter 3:14
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness,
you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION,
AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,
2 Corinthians 11:4
We told you about Jesus, and you received the Holy Spirit
and accepted our message. But you let some people tell you
about another Jesus. Now you are ready to receive another
spirit and accept a different message.
