Chords for Steve Grace - Song for America

_ _ _ I grew up as a missionaries kid in Papua New Guinea, the island just north of Australia.
_ It's a very mountainous little country.
There's 861 different language groups. _
And my mum and dad went up there in 1960 to serve the Lord in a very primitive culture.
We lived in a little Kunai grass hut for the first six years of my life.
An open fire at the middle where mum would cook dinner every night.
Kerosene lanterns, no electricity.
And I grew up thinking that was normal.
_ And it kind of prepares you for anything in life when you grow up as a missionaries kid.
But _ a lot of our friends were American missionaries and many times mum and dad were blessed by the generosity and the support of Americans who were also there serving the Lord.
_ This is really [C] a prayer for America and although I wrote it years ago, it's probably more relevant today than what it was when I wrote it.
This is called Song for America. _ _ _
