Snippet

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. 

Declaration of Independence Second Paragraph

Scripture

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1,2 NIV

Song

Star Spangled Banner

Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light?
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming.

Whose broad stripes and bring stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watching
Were so gallantly streaming

And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave prove through the night
That our flag was still there

Oh say does that Star Spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.


And still we can see
As the years have gone by
There's a dream in our land
Like a flame that keeps burning

And the lantern of hope
From the harbor still shines
Those who seek freedom's dream
To its light are still turning

Now we look to the stars
And we lift up our eyes
For we know with the dawn
We will see our Flag rise

And this is our spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave

America! (4x)
My Home!
America!

(And this is our Star-Spangled
Banner unfurled
As a light to the free,
and a hope to the world!)
