Lyrics
Touch America (©2008 by Steve Kuban)
(Key: F#)
(PIano introduction)
Touch America with the power of Your Spirit
Touch America with the wonder of Your Name
Touch America with the love of the Father
O precious God, touch America
(repeat, with background vocals during each chorus)
(repeat)
(verse 1)
Though we are a nation, Lord
So blessed with Your presence
And Your power and protection and Your grace
We must never take for granted
All the mercies of the Father
So today we come anew to seek Your face
(repeat chorus, with full male and female background vocals)
(verse 2)
Father of creation
Hear the cry of our nation
As we fall upon our faces and pray
In brokenness of spirit
Lord we know that You will hear us
Lord forgive our sin, and heal our land!
(repeat chorus)
(instrumental bridge as Steve Kuban reads 2 Chronicles 7:14)
Touch America with the power of Your Spirit
Touch America with the wonder of Your Name
Touch America with the love of the Father
O precious God, touch America
(key change to G)
Touch America with the power of Your Spirit
Touch America with the wonder of Your Name
Touch America with the love of the Father
O precious God, touch America
O precious God, touch America
O precious God...
Touch America!
