I march in line,
Shouting commands.
�Right hand salute!�
I raise my hand in honor to my country.
Overhead flies our gracious flag: the red, the white, and the blue.
It endured years of retribution and scandal.
A flag that flies over a nation, so bold and proud,
That they�ve forgotten by whose grace it is that they can stand here today.
�I worship You, O mighty God of Israel, my gracious Heavenly Father. Watch over us and protect us. Help us turn our eyes upon You.�
Suddenly, our great national anthem begins to play.
As it plays, I listen to it�s glorious words,
�O�er the land of the free and the home of the brave.�
Than comes the great, old spiritual:
�Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now I�m found,
�Twas blind, but now I see.�
We so quickly forget what was given up for us to be here today.
Millions of men have lost their very lives fighting for this great nation,
Our great Creator sent His one and only Son to die as the propitiation for our sins.
He shed his blood on Calvary�s cross to save a wretch like me,
For I was lost and now I�m found,
I was blind, but He has made me see.
And when I meet Him in the air,
When Gabriel�s trumpet sounds,
I�ll follow Him, Heaven bound,
For the love of God, have I found,
To walk upon the streets of gold and sing in the Heavenly choir,
To walk with Him forever more and rejoice over escaping the perils of Hell�s eternal fire.
