I wonder sometimes if folks really read the words to songs or if they just hum along!!!
Maybe most folks do NOT understand how important the words we listen to and speak are!!!
What we listen to and hear goes right into our souls!!! Into our very hearts!!! And it forms who we are!!! And who we become (especially when we are young!!!)
As I listened to this song, I heard these words!!!
“ America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!”
America was founded by God fearing men and women who believed in and worshipped the Lord Jesus Christ!!!! These believers built Our Great Nation with the help of God and HE has blessed America because of it!!!
GOD HAS INDEED SHED HIS GRACE ON US-AMERICA!!!!
America , The Beautiful Lyrics
by Katharine Lee Bates - 1913
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!
O Beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
