America Eternal


"For whatever is born of God
is victorious over the world;
and this is the victory that conquers
the world, even our faith."
1 John 5:4


April 1607
Cape Henry, Virginia
Jamestown colonists offer up humble thanksgiving
to the Lord for safe passage across the sea
from England, dedicating the land
beneath their feet to the Lord Jesus Christ,
thus sealing America as a nation
born of Almighty God.



America Eternal

When at the rock, undaunted still;
The pilgrims pledged a new;
When sword unsheath'd at Bunker Hill
A rallying answer drew;
A thought immortal mov'd the Hand That
made our nation free.
America, the Freedom Land!
we pledge our lives to thee.

And whenever duty calls
To form the battle line,
The valiant hearts within our walls,
Of ev'ry race and clime,
As brethren shall united stand;
That ever more shall be.
America, the Brother Land,
We pledge our lives to thee.
Words by
Franklin Taylor

America is a free land because of the selfless,
valiant hearts of the men and women, past and present,
of the United States Armed Forces.

All gave some. Some gave all.

Thank You for my freedom!

May the Lord Bless and Keep You.

May God in His great Love and Mercy
continue to Bless the United States Of America.
