America The Beautiful: 

O Beautiful for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain.

America America

God shed his grace on thee.

And crown thy good with unity

From sea to shining sea.

O Beautiful for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years,

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears.

America America
God mend thy every flaw, 

 confirm thy soul in self control 

 thy liberty in law.

SANCTUARY:  LINDA LEE   

God prepare me to be a sanctuary,

Pure and holy, tried and true

With thanksgiving,

I’ll be a living sanctuary for you.

God prepare me to be a sanctuary,

Acting boldly in your name.

Seeking justice where there’s hurting

Offering hope where, there is pain.

                                                      

God prepare me to be a sanctuary. 

Pure and holy, tried and true. 

 With thanksgiving, 

 I’ll be a living sanctuary for you.

CLOSING SONG:  GOD BLESS AMERICA   

God Bless America, Land that I love,
Stand beside her, And guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.

From the mountains to the prairies
To the ocean white with foam,
God Bless America
My home sweet home, God Bless America,  My home sweet home.
