A Prayer for
Independence Day

God bless America and keep
us safe and free Safe from "all our enemies" wherever they may
be, For enemies are forces that often dwell within, Things
that seem so harmless become a major sin,
 Little acts of selfishness grow
into lust and greed and make the love of power our idol and our
need.... For all our wealth and progress are as worthless can
be Without the faith that makes us great and kept our nation
free.
 And while it's hard
to understand the complexities of war Each one of us must realize
that we are fighting for The principles of freedom and the
decency of man, But all of this must be achieved according to
God's Plan
 So help us as
Americans to search deep down inside And discover if the things
we do are always justified And teach us to walk humble and close
in Thy ways And give faith and courage and put purpose in our
days
 And make each one of
us aware that each must do his part For in the individual is
where peace must have a start For a better world to live in where
all are safe and free Must start with faith and hope and love
deep in the heart of "me"
