With God on Our Side (Lyric Video)

  

Bob Dylan - With God on Our Side

Bob Dylan wrote "With God on Our Side" in late 1962 or early 1963. He adapted the song's melody from the traditional Irish folk tune "The Merry Month of May" (popularized via Dominic Behan's "The Patriot Game").  

Oh my name it ain't nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I’s taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that the land that I live in Has God on its side Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Ah the country was young With God on its side The Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War too was Soon laid away And the names of the heroes I’s made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side The First World War boys It came and it went The reason for fightin' I never did get But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you don’t count the dead When God’s on your side The Second World War Came to an end We forgave the Germans And then we were friends Though they murdered six million In the ovens they fried The Germans now too Have God on their side I’ve learned to hate the Russians All through my whole life If another war comes It’s them we must fight To hate them and fear them To run and to hide And accept it all bravely With God on my side But now we got weapons Of chemical dust If fire them we’re forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And ya' never ask questions When God’s on your side Through many dark hour I been thinking about this That Jesus Christ was Betrayed by a kiss But I can’t think for ya' You’ll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side So now as I’m leavin' I’m weary as Hell The confusion I’m feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And they fall to the floor That if God’s on our side He’ll stop the next war

New Life Global Outreach ~ Aug 16, 2026

 

Aug 16, 2026

Apostolic Prophetic Church was founded by Dr Lynn Enoch D Morris and Grace Enoch was launched at 2/585, Trunk Road, (Opp. Iyyapanthangal Bus Depot), Chennai, India on the 14th of April 2016. The establishment of APC was birthed out of a divine mandate given to us. The directive was unequivocally simple and clear - A new season has dawned upon the church that must visibly announce and tangibly express itself to congregations positioned in gateway cities globally. This season, named in some circles as the ‘Apostolic Season’ as born at least two decades ago and passionately pursues the alignment of the church to apostolic biblical patterns, free from conformity to secular and humanistic influences. Its mandate is to be a strategic gate for the presentation, proclamation, and modeling of the apostolic message to the nations.

Is The Soul Real and Independent from the Brain?

  

Does science prove the existence of the soul? Here award-winning neurosurgeon Michael Egnor explores the evidence. Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong. Dr. Egnor is author with science writer Denyse O’Leary of the forthcoming book The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul (Worthy Books, June 2025). Right now if you pre-order the book you can also get a free download of the anthology Minding The Brain with 25 chapters from 23 authors exploring the mind-body problem from various perspectives, integrating insights from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and quantum theory.

Christ United Presbyterian Church of San Diego

What Is The Presbyterian Church (USA)

Christ United Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Rev. Dr. Kerry Allison is the pastor of this parish church in South Park. We were established in 1981 when an invitation was extended to two churches—Brooklyn Heights Presbyterian, established in 1921 and the Golden Hill Presbyterian, established in 1956—to merge and each church accepted. The late Reverend Doctor George Walker Smith founded Golden Hill Presbyterian Church in 1956 with support from the Presbyterian Women organization. The church, located at 22nd and Market in South Park, became a human rights leader in San Diego as the congregation grew. Reverend Smith was the first black school board member in San Diego. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Christ United continues its ministry in power and presence to the present day. All are welcome to join us in worship and togetherness.

San Diego Japanese Christian Church

OMS Holiness Church of North America

San Diego Japanese Christian Church (SDJCC) is here to share the good news that a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is the key to abundant living in today’s world. Our church was founded as an outreach to Japanese speaking farmers in San Diego County over 80 years ago. SDJCC now has English and Japanese speaking ministries. It’s easy to miss, tucked away at the elbow of 19th and E streets just above Interstate 5: the Japanese American Christian Church in Golden Hill. You’d most likely drive past this humble place of worship on the way up Broadway without noticing it, but if you happened to be on a stroll down E Street looking at the nice old houses, you’d stumble upon it after the bigger homes give way to a series of California bungalows. It’s there before E turns right into 19th. Across the street from the church, a chain-link fence lines the sidewalk above the 5 where the homeless set up camp on a regular basis before they are swept out and relocated only to return again when the police shift their attention elsewhere. Historically, the church itself is a product of a relocation of a different sort. As my City College colleague, historian Susan Hasegawa informed me, it was originally founded as the Japanese Holiness Church by Christian Nikkei (immigrants and their descendents) in 1930 and located on Newton Avenue. Sponsored by the Oriental Mission Society, the church focused its efforts on outreach to Issei (first generation immigrant) farmers.
