Lord, Please Bless Our Troops, They're fighting for our Freedom.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag

one nation UNDER GOD,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Prayers going up.

Dead Man’s Curve

Blessed Assurance - an old hymn...

“This is my story, this is my song,
. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.
(Refrain)

As soon as I read the title of your thread, the first artist I thought of was Harry Chapin. The song I thought of was “I Want to Learn a Love Song.”

[roostercogburn]

Edmund Fitzgerald.

Great song. Sad story.
