JULY 4 - 250 YEAR CELEBRATION
Celebrating a milestone for our little nation. 250 years ago we set a torch that would inflame the world, spreading democracy. We have become a world superstar, even as we squabble amongst ourselves. Let’s not lose sight of the God-inspired wonder of our nation, and our people.
From the many songs that have popped up for this occasion it seems they all come from our Country Heartland. So this is the sound of America’s 250th birthday.
‘Hey old friend, you’re looking good for your age, a few more lines on the map, a few more turns of the page. I know it ain’t been easy, Lord knows you’ve seen some rain ...’
Patriotic Song – America’s 250th Birthday Song - The Lyrical Lanterns
‘From small-town folks to skyline blokes built on a promise from long ago, torchin’ the harbor light at night... from heart-land fields to the open sea... 250 strong and we’re not done.’
250 Strong | Patriotic Country Anthem | America’s 250th Anniversary - Liberty Oak
‘Every time I see that flag flying proud and high, I remember all the men and women who gave their lives.’
Thank God I Live in America/ 250th Anniversary Song - Mystic Song Writer
Bringing our voices together - ‘ I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died and gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today...’
God bless the USA - Lee Greenwood, Home Free, United States Air Force
‘And maybe we can see beyond these battle-lines that we have drawn and realize we’re really all in this thing together.’
America the Beautiful - Steven Curtis Chapman & Chris Janson
Let’s remember the freedoms that our fathers have fought for! That WE stand for!
Happy Birthday all y’all.
