Indivisible by Pillar (Fireproof (2003))
Listen Now
For all the people in the world that don't understand
Exactly what it is we have here in this motherland
See the Father's hand started up a master plan
There's been many through the test of time take a stand
But had they ran who knows where we would be now
I thank God it's something I don't have to think about
Instead my thoughts are on the ones who laid it on the line
KIA gave their lives to let freedom shine
But in the meantime I think of those of your kind
And wonder how it is you get things so messed up inside your mind
Just think a second how long it's been going on before you
They're the one's who even helped you have the right to argue
Stop complaining move along
Open your eyes and see what's going on
We need to get back to the ways of the days of old
One nation under God indivisible
Chorus
All the people let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The people of the nation let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the motto taken off of the Benjamin Franklin
They got a problem with my God and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the money when they spend it
They're so offended by 4 words that need no explanation
In GOD we trust the motto of this greatest nation
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack a bag and you can leave
One nation under God indivisible
You can't take back that, that was never yours
I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. And I think it speaks directly to my desire to play a part in Building a safer, stronger and better America that looks to be “One nation under God” and that is “In God we trust”.
It especially speaks to me in light of the recent stirrings at the Supreme Court and the possibility of those precious words being stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance. What a victory it could be for the secular humanists, for the atheists? What further evidence it would be that our nation is turning from its creator? Why do we continue to thumb our noses at a Father that loves us enough to count the hairs on our head (Luke 12:7)?
My prayer today is that our nation and our leaders would recognize there is a power greater then them and a law greater than the law of this land. That they would bow down at the throne of our King, our God and submit themselves to His will and His righteousness.

I have always felt that the beauty of that statement in the Pledge is that it allows for each individual to recognize whatever God they wish but to still remain One Nation. It is what has made our country the pillar amongst the nations. Let's hope the Supreme Court recognizes the essentialness (is that a word?) that our forefathers saw so clearly.
