Long May Freedom Ring!

She's a Grand Ole Flag
My Country Tis of Thee
America The Beautiful
My Eyes Have Seen the Glory

Songs from yester year, 
when we were Proud to be Americans, 
and celebrating that we are here.  

Remembering every battle and fight we'd ever lost or won. 
And recognizing we owe Allegiance 
to both America and the Holy One.

Restore unto us thankful hearts 
that recognize Freedom isn't free, 
it cost the blood of men and women 
just like you and me. 

May we ever be guardians of the 
sacred trust placed into our hands, 
the miracle called America, 
home of the free and the brave of the Land.

America! God breathed and birthed you,
 in and through the hearts of men
Over tyranny and injustice 
You've called us to fight and win.

The battle for Freedom still rages today, 
as others come along to try
to take that Freedom away. 

But our Freedom is based on principles 
found in God's own Word. 
This is the Freedom that truly free men 
have tasted, seen and heard!

Stand strong America! Stand firm! 
Do not give up, do not back down or 
from our Christian foundations turn, 
for if you do,our beloved REPUBLIC will burn.
 
Come back to your purpose America! 
Don't you know God is not finished with you yet?  
He has plans for you still!  
God is calling, are you willing 
to yet be, that Light upon the hill?
