A lot Like President Lincoln A boy of no great wealth or means Has proven the reality of freedom As he rises from obscurity to great esteem
He was so blessed because all his life He acknowledged our Saviour and His Grace And never fell, except at the foot of The Cross By doing things, that would cause one to loose face
I sit in tears of honor As the caisson goes rolling by Knowing Beyond The Sunset He now resides in a Heaven, beyond earthly skies
The Flag at half mast reminds me The half has never been told Of the true story of, Our Saviour Or the deeds Reagan's Legacy holds
As this obviously Stately Lady Follows him still, having never left his side As there are Drums on earth and planes above Which Peacefully, over them glide
Oh America, how fortunate our Nation has to be To have been blessed with this man of God as president Willing to pay the price That all men might once be free
I hear music and salutes of praise While Dignitaries stand in awe As Senators and Congress finally acknowledge His extreme value, to us ALL
An Honor Guard will attempt to raise him With Dignity and Grace But no human hands, can lift him high enough To His rightful resting place
Thousands and Thousands of people Have come in respect and praise As solemnly they wait their chance To give last respect, in these final days
Oh God our prayer and hearts longing Is one day the world truly sees The real value it is as a Nation to have been allowed Under God as: "The Land Of The Brave and Free"
And one more pray we offer up For all humanity That our entire universe Lives in peace, through the Grace of THEE
And for Nancy and her family It will today bring comfort to each one To know it was their Husband and Father Which helped to see God's Will, begun
And so once again I scribe the words Found in: "The Blue, White, and Red" Because such words, are never too often heard And never too often said:
"AMERICA, AMERICA, wake up rejoice and sing Hold your Banner High through the power of your King, And surely the world will see, you were willing to pay the cost That GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE, and there's POWER IN THE CROSS" |
