Two hundred thirty~one years ago
God birthed this wondrous nation;
by those with vision, courage, purpose,
strength, hope, determination.

Uniquely shaped by His design
through heroes brave and true;
who purchased freedom with their lives
as still today they do.

Hearts that longed to live unbound
who faced the vast unknown;
trusting God's unchanging Word,
knowing they were not alone.

Bravely with unfailing courage
agreeing then as they do now;
"Give me liberty or give me death",
Patriot Henry's solemn vow.

The battles fought~the battles won
against each bitter enemy;
evil governments and dictators,
their greed and tyranny!

We bow our knees to God alone
whose Sovreignty we proclaim;
united in His love we give
honour to His holy name.

America, the beautiful, God still
sheds His grace upon thee;
with provision and protection
from sea to shining sea.

Star spangled banner we salute
each value you convey;
God bless our sweet America
keep her strong and free, we pray!
