[MinuteGal]

Oh! Thus be it ever when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just
And this be our motto "In God is Our Trust"
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Free men and women will stand in Crawford......and the cause it is just.

Morning Leni, Sure do wish Texas was closer. Would just jump in my pick up and drive down for the day.

That verse of the SPB just about says it all....truly timeless.

I always sing this stanza when our national anthem is sung. Easier to understand, and clear in our beliefs, isn't it?!
