In God we trust

I've been listening to a great song by Derek Webb called In God We Trust. I think it is very relevant to recent events


in God we trust
and the government is on His shoulders
in God we trust
through democracy and tyranny alike
in God we trust
He uses both good and evil men
in God we trust
so we fight for peace and He fights for us
in God we trust
even when He fights us for someone else
in God we trust
even when He looks like the enemy
in God we trust
even though our hearts are bankrupt
in God we trust
for more than just the value of our dollar bills
in God we trust
but there’s no gold behind these notes of reserve
in God we trust
even through our great presumption
in God we trust
even though He favors no nation-state
in God we trust
even when the blessing is a curse



You can download the album for free at noisetrade for the rest of the week

  1. I have come to appreciate Dereks music but especially his lyrics. "In God We Trust" is a real encouragement.

    I made "Savior on Capitol Hill" my theme song until this election was over (today).

  2. Oh! Derek Webb is quite possibly my favorite artist...probably a tie with Sara Groves...due to his ability to call us Christians out when we need it. GREAT stuff.
