As you celebrate America’s 249th anniversary of independence this weekend, I hope you will accompany your grill-outs and firework shows with these great patriotic hymns. A reading of the Declaration of Independence is also linked below, for your reflection. Give God thanks for this nation and pray for its peace and prosperity!
The Declaration of Independence
Eternal Father, Strong to Save (my personal favorite!)
God, bless the USA!
Your brother,
Ryan
