🇺🇸🖕🏽😁! You ruined me and my people lives! You and your corrupt citizens! You stole our dignity and sold us to the world ! You’re an abomination! God brought me here to teach you a lesson! Citizens of the United States don’t fuck with me ! I’ll send you home to be with the lord! Yes ! That is a threat!

other than God who provided air support 🇺🇸👊

Greatest lyricist of all time

I grew up in the dusty townships of Port Elizabeth in South Africa There were days you could see obtacles in the way, single mom absent father not knowing the future. This song came as handy prayer to live with

#ThePatch which is the beginning of the flag represents people of all territories! Different skin, likes & love for this land in our own unique way! We contributions to this land matters! Dam Trump surrogates implying otherwise!

My God no one could sing this like Ray Charles. You can feel this way down on the inside ❤

FORWARD MARCH!!!

USA❤

Ray Charles kicked some serious ass with this! Best I ever heard! 🇺🇸

This should be our national anthem, instead of the Star Spangled Banner. Just saying.❤️🙏🏾

GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸

Put the biden administration and others in jail and make them hear this everyday

Beautiful nevers get old Mr. Charles

Luke Garrett was a very humble man and highly anointed.

I cried when I heard about Luke's death 8 years ago. Ever since I was 7 years old I always wanted to meet him. I grew up listening to the soundtrack of Two From Galilee. I always thought he sounded wonderful when he voiced Joseph

This just popped up on my phone--, what a joy it was to know Luke.My Jim & I visited with him at The Real Evangelism Conferences thru the 1990s Even singing with him& our choir at Woodstock, GA in 1995 He was a Dear & Precious Friend. Miss you,My Brother in Christ

America is not lost yet.......keep fighting for it. A new and better day is coming. 2024

I love u ❤América 🙏

This one never gets old!

Ray Charles Oh beautiful, for heroes proved In liberating strife Who more than self, our country loved And mercy more than life America, America, may God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain devined And you know when I was in school We used to sing it something like this, listen here Oh beautiful, for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain But now wait a minute, I'm talking about America, sweet America You know, God done shed his grace on thee He crowned thy good, yes he did, in a brotherhood From sea to shining sea You know, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this (America, America) America, I love you America You see, my God he done shed his grace on thee (God shed his grace on thee) And you oughta love him for it Cause he, he, he, he, crowned thy good He told me he would, with brotherhood From sea to shining sea (From sea to shining sea) Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Lord (Shining sea)

rest in pease ray god bless you man love you ray

Merica 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love you Dan

I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......like this song says indeed it is my prayer that us as true born again believers seek to possess the mind of Christ!!!!! may we be filled with his holy spirit as we daily read and study his word! however folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! It is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

My dream is this: This is the national anthem before every game, and everyone dons sunglasses and rocks back -n -forth in reverence to the great Ray Charles

To try to top this would be impossible. This is Ray's masterpiece. Enough said.

This song should be sung more often? ‘ in our great Nation God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️

Ray Charles' placed his whole heart into this version. When he says at the end, "I thank You Lord..." it puts a tear in my eye. He sounded like he was grateful to be in this country. Wonderfully put.

This is the most amazing rendition of this song. Lt.Gov. Mark Robinson needs to use this. Awesome..

Democrats disliked this video and probably called it “racist”

Listening to this on 4th of July 2023.

Happy Independence Day 2023!!! 🎉

God Bless America and Her Patriots who love her

Happy birthday America!

America Gotta Love it !

America, the promise of democracy, is a beautiful thing.

May God bless the greatest country in the world, United States of America!! Thank you, Ray Charles 🇺🇲 🗽🦅✨

God bless Captain America 🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every time I hear this song I always think of the sand lot

Love Luke Garrett’s voice. I believe his voice is anointed.

We all need to have the mind of Christ Yeshua Hamashiac as a goal. Precious Heavenly Father help me consistently set this goal for myself. Amen 🙏🏽💕

I'm still a Proud American

I love this song 🎵 ❤️

West Point Class of '95 and founder of an a capalla group while I was there that put our own version of this song together. I was missing my classmates and found your video - great job, fellas - nicely done. DaCosta - you're the bomb - loving your floating in the stratosphere up there so lightly. First tenors rock!
