ONE NATION UNDER GOD on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d593RguxQI8&feature=share
As many of you know, recently the Lord gave me a “suddenly” and had me compose a new song for our nation called: “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”. With the help of Michael Everett and the Creation Lab in Turlock, CA, Mark Davis, Brandon Davis and the voices and artistic talent of some amazing young adults the song has been recorded and uploaded to youtube. (link above)
The Lord’s instruction to release the song via youtube on the July 4th weekend was very specific and as with all His plans strategic. July 4, 1776 we DECLARED we were an independent nation, but it would only be after years of Revolutionary War, where at times it looked like the cause would be defeated before that independence actually became reality. (For instance, remember the winter of 1777/78 at Valley Forge, PA.) With the song, “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” we declare this our intention for our country though in some ways it seems like it is no longer the case.
As Christians we find ourselves in a culture war where mankind’s wisdom and self-will continue to exalt themselves as if superior to God’s supreme, eternal, unchanging Way. We need to be encouraged to stand firm, strong, resolute and resilient, in all love and respect toward others as we represent His righteousness and singular Truth.
Thus though the song, “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” was released the weekend of July 4th, its message goes far beyond this patriotic anniversary. “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” reflects a mindset and lifestyle.
Those of you who have listened to and/or viewed the song already know it remembers and honors the heroic actions by so many on 9-11-2001 and in the days and months which followed. We need to also remember that each of those whom we now consider heroes woke up ordinary, unknown citizens that morning. All they did was to step into the work God laid before them regardless of personal cost. This is what made them heroes whom we must never forget.
It is also the call from God on each of our lives today – to step with confidence and trust in Him into the work He has for each of us. It is through us He will spread His love and truth to the world. It is through us that His righteousness and way will be represented in our midst.
Please help spread the word about the song, “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”. As awareness of it increases it can become a unifying and rallying point.
God created it so that our words have effect. (His Word has the ultimate effect!) Often what we speak, we become. He is the one who commanded us to write His Way on our hearts, because He knows we need it in order to stand strong in the face of the onslaught of the opposite.
Music is a powerful vehicle to accomplish this. If we will but declare we are one nation under God and function as if it is true (because it is true for each individual who operates as an ambassador and citizen of His kingdom while living out the physical existence here on earth), then individual by individual we can expect America to slowly turn and once again reflect a culture which is united a nation under the one true God.
This song is not about me or any one person. This song is not about promoting any individual but the message!
I am the least of those who should have professional recordings. I don’t have an exceptional voice or extraordinary musical talent. But I do yearn to hear His will & obey it. Thus listening for this song and stewarding its recording and release have been an act of joyful obedience to His call. The existence of this song is a testimony to the fact that God uses “nobodies”. In other words, where many of us feel like we are “nobody”; God demonstrates this is not so. We are all somebody to God and He will use each of us to do extraordinary work for His kingdom if we will believe Him, listen to Him and seek to obey.
Alone we can accomplish no good thing. We need to be in God’s will, accompanied by His grace and power. None of us can accomplish everything which we know is needed in the circumstances we see around us. God created us to need each other; God gives each of us a piece of the work. No one part of the work is more or less important than any other. All are needed! Then in those moments when He gives us the gift of a glimmer of His overview, we begin to see hat He is using the many of us with which to weave together an exquisite quilt of His Way. Out of each small act of obedience by each of us, He sews a covering of His love, grace and righteousness for the world.
Please pray if you are one of those called not ensure the message of this song does not stop because a patriotic weekend has passed…Do as His Spirit leads, sharing, posting, forwarding by email, helping Christian media outlets become aware… Thank you to every one of you who has already helped. Every effort you have extended is appreciated!
May this song go forth because of the individuals who hear His call and know they are to spread the word; may it rally us to stand strong, faithful and vigilant in our daily work to be true to God’s principles even while we love those in our midst. May it encourage us that each one of us matters and that no work of our hands is insignificant to God. May it give us hope that if we only persevere in the work He sets before us each day and do not give up that indeed His love will fill the world and our nation once again can be more fully one nation under God. May it help us give thanks for the many blessings we have received and inspire us to bow down ready to be His servants to bring His blessing to others. May it rally us to unite for Him, love one another and listen for His guidance every day. God, please bless America and the entire world. God, we are submitted to You. We trust in You. Help us to remember and act as one nation under God. You are the only One we adore! We know who You are and we are bowed in awe! We want only Your way. We trust in You! In Jesus’ precious name, Amen

Beautiful.
The mission of our charitable organization matches the message of your song. You can check us out at http://www.godaboveall.org.
Nice to meet you! Thank you for checking in. May God bless your endeavor. I will pray for you. Please pray for my charitable organization (501c3) EAGLES NEST FOUNDATION which provides Christian spiritual support and encouragement to our troops, their families, wounded warriors (visible and invisible wounds), veterans, Gold Star families of fallen warriors and military children. http://www.eaglesnestfoundation.org
Nice meeting you as well! I will be checking out your organization. Would it be alright to put your link for the organization on our site?
Dear God Above All,
if you are requesting to put a link for EAGLES NEST FOUNDATION on your site – yes, that would be blessing. Many good organizations serve the tangible needs of our troops and their families, but there are fewer of us serving the spiritual and emotional needs. Those of us who know God, know that in Him is the answer, the purpose, the reason, the healing and the comfort. It would be blessing for more to know about the EAGLES NEST FOUNDATION mission.
May God bless you as you continue to stand for one nation under God.
Elizabeth
