Psalm 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
The song "God Bless America" is obviously well known but like other patriotic songs, the well know version omits certain lines. For example, the line before "God Bless America" says "As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer."
I've never heard that but it reveals the truth about our great nation. This nation was founded on the truth that God is our Lord. In fact, when the very first congress met their first order of business was to pray and use Psalm 35 as the basis of their prayer.
John Adams described the prayer to his wife in a letter saying that Reverend Duche "prayed with such fervor, such Ardor, such Earnestness and Pathos, and in Language so elegant and sublime."
The prayer included this great line: "O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation."
No doubt God answered that prayer!
In God We Trust!
