On patriotic holidays such as The Fourth of July, Veterans Day,
Memorial Day & Thanksgiving Day, appropriate music at church services
include songs like "My Country 'Tis Of Thee" and "America The
Beautiful," which commemorate our nation's greatness and humility
before God. Another great song is "God Bless America," which was
composed by Irving Berlin and made a hit by Kate Smith back in 1941, as
America was going to war.
That song, I believe, speaks volumes about our nation because it asks
God to bless our country, as sinful & as ugly as it is. After all,
there are still many good people who will come to its aid in time of
need.
One of the most popular versions is that by Ronan Tynan, which he
performs during special occasions at New York's Yankees Stadium. He
always does a good job at it.
I wish all our group members a Happy & Safe 4th. of July.
