Actually, if you were a Christian in India, would you sing this song? (if the Wikipedia translation is correct). It is similar to the Japanese national anthem, which is also supposed to have some references to the emperor as a deity (although Japan was forced to recognize he is simply a man after the war).

If by "God Almighty" you mean the she-deity of the country of India...
