C F In Alamogordo New Mexico just a few years ago G7 C While the nations of this world were at war F America's greatest men were working hard then G7 C On the things that had never been before G7 When the Lord held out His mighty hand C So that others in this world might understand F That wars could never be and this world it must be free G7 C When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power F They were at Los Alamos Oak Ridge and old Paso G7 C Working in a downpour of rain F In that zero hour seeking out some heavenly power G7 C While the Star Spangled Banner was being played G7 When the Lord held out His mighty hand C So that others in this world might understand F That wars could never be and this world it must be free G7 C When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power F Then a flash a rumbling roar out across the desert floor G7 C They had found the atomic power from above F Then God with His mighty hand showed the world it could not stand G7 C When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power
