God won’t and shouldn’t bless America.

America has become now become a disgrace to God.

Not to mention the many generations that build it up and gave their lives for it.

I understand the sadness and anger, but it’s still a great song, and maybe we can get behind it and make it help.

That would be GOD Bless America totally different song, written many years later, released in 1976.

GOD Bless America Again, by Bobby Bare
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC52g_Sl96s

God bless America again
You must know the trouble that she’s in
Wash her pretty face, dry her eyes and then
God bless America again

You know, I wish God would bless America again
Like He did, way back there when it all began, He blessed her then
And we sort of took it for granted and didn’t ask again
So let’s just kinda’ hold her hand now that’s all
In case she stumbles, let’s don’t let her fall

God bless America again
You must know the trouble that she’s in
Wash her pretty face, dry her eyes and then
God bless America again

I don’t understand everything I read and hear
About what’s wrong with America
When you don’t have a lot of book learnin’
There’s many things you don’t understand

But I know this much, she’s like a mother to me
And I love her with all my heart
And let me tell you this sir, everything I am
Or ever hope to be, I owe to her

God bless America again
You must know the trouble that she’s in
Wash her pretty face, dry her eyes and then
God bless America again
Oh, yes, God bless America again

Just saw the title and flashed on God Bless America, the song that I understand Kate Smith sang at the end of her shows. I know of the other one too. It was just a mistake in identification.
