I Dreamed I Saw America On Her Knees Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

I dreamed I saw America on her knees 

She knelt in prayer with humble outstretched hands 

Last night I fell asleep sittin' in my favorite chair 

I had read the evenin' paper news of trouble everywhere 

Evil spread throughout the nation like a dark cloud overhead 

Crime increasing faith descreasing people saying God is dead 

Then I saw a great revival spreading like a mighty wind 

From every city town and village starting first in the hearts of men 

Every church bell started ringing every Christian took their stand 

And people learnt to love each other 

And the great and the small walked hand in hand 

I dreamed I saw America on her knees 

She knelt in prayer with humble outstretched hands 

I dreamed that God in heaven heard her plea 

And with tender love reached down and healed our land
