‘My America’ Danny Gokey Official Music Video - Christian Music Videos

One gifted Christian musician Danny Gokey performed a beautiful song about the hope, wonder and goodness still offered by the United States of America.

In America, one can pick absolutely any issue, and it’s bound to come with people who are ardently in favor of it. On the other hand, that same topic will most certainly have individuals who are steadfastly against it, refusing to budge an inch. The USA, as national 24-hour news channels so often like to portray, is a divided place where every single issue is polarized and divisive. 

However, Danny Gokey, in his song “My America” sings that despite the deep partisan divides and some of the ups and downs the country has experienced in its nearly 250-year existence, America is a force for good in the world. It’s a song of hope, optimism and the belief that America can overcome anything in its way. 

In the song’s opening verse, Danny states his belief that the United States, even though some feel otherwise, is worth the fight. He’s not ready to give up on the United States of America.

“I hear them say our country’s too far gone
Even claim, our fathers got it wrong
But I won’t give up on us and I’ll take a stand
Cause we can overcome, this is not the end”

Near the tune's conclusion, Danny mentions the USA’s most recognizable symbol of hope and freedom: The Statue of Liberty. He points out how that statue in New York City is, has and always will remain a symbol of hope to the immigrant and refugee seeking to escape hardship and oppression.

The United States of America is not a perfect place. No country and people are without their faults. However, America is still a place where people have the right to live their lives as they see fit. Through hard work and talent, someone can alter the entire trajectory of their lives in the United States of America. 

2 Corinthians 3:17 “Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
