“Independence Day”
Listening to radio station 91.5 FM – The Complete Story – for their July 4th, 2013 program – was a program that I just had to hear each time and day scheduled.
This year’s program emphasized the importance of using the correct name for the 4th of July – it’s our Independence Day and we should be proud to say so!
In the first few minutes a song we should be singing more often was performed by someone whose name I am sorry I did not write down but his rendition of America the Beautiful – with the powerful words we need to sing – “God shed His grace on thee” – are a prayer. The whole song and the words are really a prayer that as a kid, I remember singing in grade school – but never much, again? Why is that?
The finishing touch of the program was absolutely the best , as it was the year before. I just love to hear , “Sandi Patty” sing the “Star-Spangled Banner!” Her rendition of our National Anthem is the absolute best of all singers – that I have heard! Her voice is so beautiful and she hits the notes – right on – a perfect gift from God Almighty!
When I was listening, the “goose-bumps” and hair standing on end – just “spine-chilling” such a wonderful voice to be able to make such beautiful music. I will have to make an effort to find my tapes with the above songs, and play them more often!
God Bless America and all of your people who sing praises to your Name!
