Out of the Darkness

Father God bless that we may not fall from Grace

As we handle the problems that our Nation does face

May we remember our leaders through the years

And we ponder what might have been their worst fears

This great nation, she is based on many a prayer

On bended knee’s with so many a heart felt tear

We have lived through Pearl Harbor and nine eleven

This has served to bring many of us closer to heaven

We will not be shaken, and we will always stand tall

So long as we remember what was our original call

Above us flies the stars and the stripes forever

I pray Lord Jesus that our troops we will forget never

Do not forget what they have done for us every day

And daily a prayer from my mouth that we might say

Just how much we appreciate those across the waters

Soldiers, Mothers Fathers, spouses, sons and daughters

Dictators come and dictators go, but God stands forever

I pray that those ties with God I might not wish to sever

One Nation Under God, United we will forever stand

So long as we remember, who really is in command

I actually wrote that a long time ago. It seemed appropriate to re-post it. Thanks. Danni
