Red, White and Blue

     I am so very proud of our American flag with its tri-color of red, white, and blue.  In addition, I am honored to stand up in its presence in salute for this great country.  I am honored to stand in salute to the men and women who have fought to keep this country great.  
     When I stand in salute of the flag of the United States of America, I praise God for this land He created and the sacrifice He made.  God gave His son to die for me.  Jesus freely laid down His life so I could live.  Herein is the first remembrance of the Red, White, and Blue for which I stand. 



            The Red, White and Blue

            A battle raged;  

                 A cross was staged;

            My Savior bled-

            "Forgive them," He plead

 

            For me, His blood ran red,

            For me, His stripes bruised blue;

            In death, He washed my sins, snowy white.

 

            I salute the Red, White, and Blue-

            A resurrection- The Savior true.

            I salute His sacrifice;

            For victory, Jesus paid the price. 

         

            For me, His blood ran red,

            For me, His stripes bruised blue;

            In death, He washed my sins, snowy white.
