Diamond Rio's New Single

Diamond Rio has finally released a new single to country radio.

The song that was released is titled "In God We Still Trust." This song is a power, patriotic song. The song is kind of controversial in its message. The song calls for prayer in school and the Ten Commandments being back in our court houses. The song will certainly strike a nerve with folks all around the country.

The lyrics to the song are as follows:

In God We Still Trust
Written by Kim & Bill Nash and Rob LeClair

You place your hand on His Bible, when you swear to tell the Truth
His name is on our greatest Monuments, and all our money too,
And when we Pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand,
There is no separation, we're one Nation under Him.

Chorus:
In God We Still Trust
Here in America
He's the one we turn to every time
The goin' gets rough
He is the source of all our Strength
The One who watches over us
Here in America
In God We Still Trust

Now there are those among us, who want to push Him out,
And erase His name from everything, this country's all about,
From the Schoolhouse to the Courthouse, they're Silencing His Word,
Now it's time for all Believers, to make our Voices heard.

In God We Still Trust,
Here in America
He's the one we turn to every time
The goin' gets rough
He is the source of all our Strength
The One who watches over us
Here in America
In God We Still Trust

Here in America, Here in America, Here in America,

In God We Still Trust
Here in America,

In God We Still Trust
Here in America

Now I am not a very religious person by any stretch of the imagination. I do, however, believe in God and that our country were based on Christian beliefs. I am one of those people that doesn't go to church and I do not like to have religion perched down my throat. I do though, really like this song and believe every word that this song is about.

I feel that this song is defiantly a song that is number one material. I do wonder how well its going to go over at country radio though. I am not sure if the radio program directors are going to be as eager to play this song due to the controversial parts of it. I think that if the country music fans like this song and request that it be played, it may have a better chance at making it to the #1 spot.

I can tell you that the song has been played in Diamond Rio concert for the past few months and was done at the concert I attended in August (see "What a Day" entry for details). The guys have received a standing ovation each time they have performed this song. That tells me that this is a song that most country music fans are going to like.

The song also has a video to go along with it. The video is a very patriotic and is a great video. Those of you that are interested in seeing the video can do so by looking for it on Great American Country (GAC) or can view it on Launch.com and you can click HERE for a direct link.

I am hoping that this song does go to number one and puts Diamond Rio back on track.

If any of you decide to give the song and/or video a listen, I would love to hear your thoughts about it. Please do not hesitate to leave me a comment here to let me know what you think. I really look forward to them.

'Till next time.
