This is an unfinished song that my lovely and delicate wife and I
started writing while driving back from the Pacific Northwest. We were
in the kind of mood that is driving this thread, having just turned off
"God Bless the USA" or some other piece of patrioreligious tripe. We
haven't recorded it yet, but we do have music. If you've heard "God
Bless the USA", you know where we're headed with this. Think of the
frighteningly sincere cowboy type who has to choke back tears on every
other line.

Think lots of swelling strings.

I Love America
(And Jesus Does, Too)

When God was creating the earth,
He saved the best for us:
The grandest canyon, The rockiest mountains,
Great plains alive with grains.

For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son,
And to our most-favored nation,
This land. (spoken) Thy will be done

The master has a purpose
For this land under red, white, and blue.
Yes, I love America,
And Jesus does, too.

He walked upon the waters
Created us equally
And blessed our founding fathers
From sea to shining sea

His gift has been wrapped
in red, white, and blue.
Cuz I love America
And God does too
