Song "Right Here In America" by the late Larry Norman, with lyrics, from the album Street Level, 1972.



There are Christians in Russia, they meet underground
In China they're killed when they're found
And in Cuba the Christians live up in the hills
Because it's not safe in the towns

And to think it might happen right here in America
I know you think it's not true
But it's happening to Christians right here in America
Wait 'til it happens to you

The Christians in Berkeley are passing out Bibles
And food to the hungry
They're hoping to help out the people this way
But there are threats on the lives
Of their leaders and wives
They're not welcome to stay

And to think it might happen right here in America
Maybe you think it's not true
If you think it's not happening to Christians right here in America
Wait 'til it happens to you

There's an underground church and it's following Jesus
And hoping to meet people's needs
But we don't have the time to build nice little churches
Besides we don't need to -
We're holding our church in the streets

And we are passing out leaflets and underground pamphlets
From Buffalo to Monterey
And we're talkin' 'bout Jesus and all of a sudden
We're arrested and taken away

So I ask you, America, where do you stand?
Your people are starving, they're beaten and they're raped
And they're dying in jail cells, so what are your plans?
I'm not talking to congress or you politicians
Or Panthers or Muslims or Nixon or Birch
I'm addressing this song to the church

'Cause I've been in your churches and sat in your pews
And heard sermons on just how much money you'll need for the year
And I've heard you make reference to Mexicans, Chinamen
Niggers and Jews
And I gather you wish we would all disappear

And you call yourselves Christians, when really you're not
You're living your life as you please
If you're really a Christian, then put down yourself
And follow wherever God leads

I'm not talkin' religion, I'm talkin' 'bout Jesus
Put all your plans on the shelf
Let's stop marching for peace, and start marching for Jesus
And peace will take care of itself

Well, I pray that we Christians will get off our sofas
And stand up for what we believe
The time is too short, and Christ is returning
We'd better get ready to leave

We who are Christians should turn on the light
So the truth will shine bright as the day
Jesus will come like a thief in the night
And he'll steal all who love him away

There are Christians in Russia, they meet underground
In China they're killed when they're found
And in Cuba the Christians live up in the hills
Because it's not safe in the towns

And to think it might happen right here in America
I see you shaking your heads and I hear you saying
It just can't be true
But it's happened to me right here in America
Wait 'til it happens to you

My daughter sent me a video from the US with several farmers revealing that they are being paid by the government 1½ times the market value of their crops TO DESTROY THEM. They are paid extra if they recognize their carbon footprint by mowing their crops... Otherwise the government will be using agent orange. In other words the government is creating a fabricated God shortage. Similar is happening in Europe.
There's some real weird stuff going down.

You mean "food shortage", don't you?

That's the situation the government is currently engineering. Crop destruction...not crop failure, distribution issues.

Most people are unaware that the majority of seeds you might buy, especially at a Walmart, will not produce fruit with new seeds in the fruit. This was engineered by Monsanto.

Farmers oftentimes buy seeds from Monsanto that were engineered to overcome some type of hindrance like a drought, but the price is heavy. The new crops cannot be harvested for their seeds. The seeds are "sterile", and the farmer is forced to continue buying seeds each year from the corporation.

Same thing for us who think to garden or start our own farm. You gotta investigate carefully where you buy your seeds if you want normal sees like God created.

A movement is born, yet not as you think
it rivals what once was the norm
those praising the lord with hands held high
are darkening the gathering storm

For freedom they left from difficult shores
and built for themselves a new world
standing firm in resolve and fearless in voice
and precious to them was that Pearl

But oh how the gloss, that far reaching shine
the bastion of courage and brave
has altered it's colours, its lustre for life
and the Fathers turn in their graves

Two horns like a lamb will never conceal
the voice of a dragon inside
the morphing is done, an image is born
the Beast is coming to life.
