Written by Jimmie Osborne

We read in the newspaper, hear on the radio
They're fighting in Korea, the boys are called to go
To meet the enemy as he comes across the line
God please protect America in this troubled time

Oh people let's start prayin', as we never prayed before
We need the hand of God, to lead us through this war
Give us vic'try in Korea, and save our boys so fine
God please protect America in this troubled time

How can we stand another war to take our loved ones dear?
And leave our homes so lonesome with this dread and fear
Our hearts will bleed both night and day for the men out on the line
God please protect America in this troubled time

Oh people let's start prayin', as we never prayed before
We need the hand of God, to lead us through this war
Give us vic'try in Korea, and save our boys so fine
God please protect America in this troubled time

God tells us in the bible to pray both day and night
We do not know the hour when the enemy will strike
If you'll be faithful to till end no matter what the sign
God will protect America in this troubled time

Oh people let's start prayin', as we never prayed before
We need the hand of God, to lead us through this war
Give us vic'try in Korea, and save our boys so fine
God please protect America in this troubled time
