Is There No God in America?
DoubtSearchingConviction
A dark acoustic gospel-blues built on Elijah's question to a fallen king: "Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub?" Seven days of laying down our experts, screens, and signs — and finally knocking on the door that's divine.
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
A song for the road you're on.

Is There No God in America? Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] We fell through the lattice of our own making Amber waves trembling, foundations shaking Scared of the dark and the long, slow night We sent out our messengers looking for light Didn't raise our eyes, didn't bow our head Just scrolled and polled and asked instead [Chorus] Is there no God in America? Is there no God in America? We run to the experts, the screens, and the signs But never once knock on the door that's divine Is there no God in America? [Verse 2] We ask Wall Street what the numbers say Ask the algorithm to chart our way Ask the cable news what's true and what's real Ask the left and the right how we're supposed to feel Ask the crystal, the cards, the voice on the app Ask the pill and the bottle to fill up the gap Ask the market, the polls, the latest trend Everyone but the One who knows how it ends [Chorus] Is there no God in America? Is there no God in America? We run to the experts, the screens, and the signs But never once knock on the door that's divine Is there no God in America? [Bridge] Fire still falls when the question is clear When a man of God stands and the truth draws near We can send all our captains, we can dig in our heels But the bed that we made is the bed that reveals Whether we ever believed He was real [Final Chorus] Is there no God in America? Is there no God in America? Lay down the search, lay down the pride There's still a voice calling from the other side Is there no God in America? [Outro] Or will we finally look up before we die?
