God Bless America Again is a 1972 album by American country music singer-songwriter, Loretta Lynn. The disc was her third album of gospel recordings and her last of all religious material for over 20 years.

The title song was cowritten by Bobby Bare and has apparently led some to mislabel this release as a collection of patriotic songs. Largely consisting of new material, the disc also includes performances of a few well-known songs including "Softly and Tenderly", "Just A Closer Walk with Thee", and "If God Is Dead (Who's That Living In My Soul)". Lynn wrote two songs for the album, "Working for the Lord" and "I Pray My Way Out of Trouble". This was Lynn's last album on the Decca Records label before it became MCA Records. The album peaked at #7 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in 1972, an impressive chart performance considering no singles were released from the album.
