God Bless America is the second compilation album from American recording artist LeAnn Rimes. The album was released on October 16, 2001. The album was released as a patriotic tribute to the events of September 11, 2001, with the liner stating "These classic recordings were made while America was first discovering LeAnn Rimes."[1][3]

The album comprises patriotic and inspirational songs that were originally included on All That (1994) and You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs (1997). "Put a Little Holiday in Your Heart" was originally released as a bonus single alongside Blue at Target during the 1996 Christmas season.[4] The album includes four previously unreleased recordings: "The Lord's Prayer" and "The Sands of Time", in addition to alternate recordings of the previously released songs "Why Can't We" and "Middle Man".
