Crista Norfrey - Dear America Lyrics

Living in America feels like I'm in a movie
That plays over and over again
History repeats itself, the blood lies in our streets
And the oppression in our hands
Oh yes, I know it's how we started
But is this how it has to end
Our very citizens cry out for justice
Where do we begin

Jesus, make it right again
Jesus, make it right again
Justice lies inside Your hands
For only You can change a man

America, I have some news you might not wanna hear
But I'll tell you anyway
We've got to learn to love our brother, learn to listen well
Learn how to get on our knees and pray
Oh Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy
Teach me to love the world the way that You have loved me

Jesus, make it right again
Jesus, make it right again
Justice lies inside Your hands
For only You can change a man

How many more, Jesus, have to die
Before we see our brother through Your Father's eyes
We lay aside our flag, our allegiances, our pride
For only You can make this right

Show us what the cross means for America
Show us what Your cross means for America
Yeah, You stepped across the line
And You're bridging the gap
Show us what Your cross for America

Jesus, make it right again
Jesus, make it right again
Justice lies inside Your hands
For only you can change a man

How many more, Jesus, have to die
Before we see our brother through Your Father's eyes
We lay aside our flag, our allegiances, our pride
For only You can make this right
For only You can make this right
We believe that You can make this right
