They recorded it in 1982 on the LP "Something Special". NOBODY can sing anything like Glenn did! Other memorable songs from that LP are "Step Into The Water"-the origional cut. "Then Came The Morning"-again, Glenn is the master of all lead singers "Mexico"-different, but still good. Kirk does it effortlessly. Great LP, peroid! As the name says, it's special Monica, the GVB does a good job with “Let Freedom Ring”

"We Want America Back" is a sermon with a chorus tacked onto it. That's the difference. “We’ve Got To Get America Back To God” is a song.

“We Want America Back” is a sermon with a chorus tacked onto it.

That’s the difference.

Joe: I always have a hard time understanding the words of the soprano they had at the time of this song. I think it was Kelly Benton?? She has a good voice, but her diction is horrible.

Now that you've gotten me started, I think I can make a few amendments to your bridge: <em>We'll take this world for Jesus If we will go hand in hand.</em> Otherwise, that was it on the nose!

We’ll take this world for Jesus
If we will go hand in hand.

Otherwise, that was it on the nose!

The silence is broken It's time now to stand Well take this walk for Jesus If we go hand in hand Millions of babies we’ve lost each year
What have we done to stop their tears
Christians rise up let America hear
we will take our country back to God.

The silence is broken
It’s time now to stand
Well take this walk for Jesus
If we go hand in hand

What ever happened to “In God We Trust?”
Prayer has been banned and taken from us.
When will we say, “Enough is enough!”
And get our country back to God?

We’ve got to get America back to God
We’ve got to rule the world with the staff and rod.
We’ve got to fight the Devil everywhere we trod
We’ve got to get America back to God.

Don’t remember the second verse, although there is a repeat of the chorus at the end, preceded live each night by Kelly admonishing the crowd to “Sing it with us!” Anyone got the remaining verse?
