Hear America (The LORD is With You) (2 Chron 15:1-7)

Introduction (4 bars) key of D
(chorus 1)
Hear, America:
The LORD is with you
The LORD is with you
While you are with Him
The LORD is with you
The LORD is with you
If you seek Him, He'll be found by you
—But if you forsake Him He'll forsake you!
So turn with all your heart
America, to the LORD
(repeat chorus [#2])
tag:
So turn with all your heart
America, to the LORD
(verse)
For a long time we've been
Without the true God
Without a teaching priest and without law
But when in our trouble we did turn to the LORD
The God of Israel
And sought Him, He was found by them
And in those times there was no peace to him
That went in or out of the city gates
But great turmoil among the nations
And nation was destroyed by nation
And city by city
For God troubled them with adversity
But you be strong
Don't let your hands be weak
For your work shall be rewarded!
(repeat chorus [#3])
tag:
So turn with all your heart
America, to the LORD
Horn Interlude (17 measures)

tag:
So turn with all your heart
America, to the LORD
(repeat chorus [#5])
tag:
So turn with all your heart
America, to the LORD
