The Fourth of July, 2019

                                              _____________Psalm 142:3a_

When 

my

spirit 

languishes 

within me, you know my path. 

Lord God Almighty, 

in whose Name 

the founders of this country won liberty 

for themselves & for us, and lit the torch 

of freedom for nations then  unborn: Grant that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness & peace
