In God We Trust

Liner Notes

What do you do when you don't know what to do? Go find a friend that you can trust. The founders of this nation and those who chose to hold it together when it started coming apart, put their trust in God. They trusted in God sufficiently that they put that little Motto on all their currency so that nobody could forget it. But....unfortunately, sometimes we do . # Acoustic #folk #Singer-Songwriter

Lyrics

In God We Trust

In God We Trust
In God We Trust
In God We Trust
Yes….We Trust in God

Our Nation stands upon The shoulders of Heroes
A line stretching back into the past
With Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson
All of them trusting in God

In God We Trust
In God We Trust
In God We Trust
Yes…We Trust in God

Above the Senate Door Carved into the Wall
What do you find up there
Above the Speakers Chair on a shiny brass plate
What do you find written there

In God We Trust
In God We Trust
In God We Trust
Yes…We Trust in God

Reach into your pocket.. Pull a nickel out
What do you find down there
Reach into your Wallet…Pull a dollar out
What do you find in there

In God We trust
In God We Trust
In God We Trust
YES…We trust in God

This is a compelling reminder of the power God in our lives and history. I love the strong delivery. The chorus is really effective.

This is an excellent write! Just as it's written in all those places as a reminder, you said it well, we unfortunately forget. This song is another needed reminder. Nicely done.

There's something so boldly performative about this, it reminded me of a song from a musical. I could hear the ensemble singing along on the chorus, more and more voices each time affirming that statement that is so often ignored and taken for granted.

This is a fun reminder of how pervasive the phrase is. I remember seeing it on a sign in an old gas station. "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" I like your guitar playing and the way you sing it.

Wow, you have such a cool voice. I hope this isn't offensive (some people are polarized on him) but this has a cool Tom Waits feel to it. I dig it!
