Come see our flag, it flies so high
A living legend in the sky
Declaring with its strength and might
It is the symbol of our right.
Thanks for this gift from God above
We pledge you our enduring love
And try the best that we all can
To serve our God and fellow man !
There was a dream that I once knew
When you loved me and I loved you
So long ago in years gone by
Before we had to say goodbye.
I stood there all alone that day
The day that God took you away
Somehow I didn’t comprehend
Was this the way our lives would end ?
Now here am I still standing tall
Awaiting God’s last curtain call
Stay with me Lord, I need Your strength
To get me through this final length !
See the calendar pages fly
The days are fleet and passing by
From March to June, so seeming blest
Continueing through all the rest
There is no halting summer, fall
Or any time each year at all !
Through all these years and all the wars
That caused such grief and gave us pause
Too many centuries have passed
Each one’s been sadder than the last
Help us to find a safer shore
Perhaps to even up the score
Oh Lord above, look down on we
Your children seeking sanctity !
