the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there.
Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"*
Yesterday in church we sang this song as our closing hymn. Just listening to the prelude glistened my eyes with the gratitude I have for this country; those who paved the way; and for my blessing to practice my religion.
Singing the Star Spangled Banner in church is such a spiritually charged patriotic and sacred blessing.
"And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust!'"*
