Thanks for sharing yet another tidbit, no; another testimony as to who, when and how we got to be who we became – once upon a time.

LORD GOD, we thank-You for these strong, insightful, fiercely independent, freedom focused men and women who helped to birth this nation, who loved, nurtured and protected her in her infancy and beyond. Father, I ask that if it be possible, if in Your perfect wisdom, purposes & fullness of time – You can see a place for America in the world to do Your will once again, to return to who we were at our inception when love for God/His Word & country was displayed in everyday living and choices, allowing us to be the sender of many missionaries that others would come to know You, then I beg You Father – I beg You, PLEASE will you send a broad sweeping Revival to awaken the sleepy hearts of Your children, the sheep of Your pasture!! Remove the dross from us that we might be a more glowing, accurate reflection of You to the multitudes about us, who know not the GOD of Abraham, Issac & Jacob. :’-( Then use us Father, in a following awakening in our land and through-out the world!!! Allow us to be part of the great final harvest Father, I beg You. I beg You. In the Name of the Only One whereby we MUST be saved: King JESUS!!

Steve, for your own encouragement and personal time of worship and adoration, I bring to you these lyrics, followed by a men’s choir who sing it: O’ SPEAK TO ME

O speak to me from heav’n above,
Fill Thou my soul,
That I may know Thy love,
Thy wondrous love,
Hush my heart to hear Thy faintest whisper.
Speak dear Lord, speak dear Lord.

O may my will be lost in Thine
My yielded heart to Thee I now resign
Speak Lord I pray
Let the flood-tide of Thy glory
Like a mighty sea sweep o’re me
While I worship and adore Thy name,
Precious Holy name
Thru eternal years the same.

O speak to me from calvary
Where Thou, O Christ,
Didst shed Thy blood for me, in agony
Speak of Thy undying mercy to me
There out poured, precious Lord
O melt my heart,
With Calv’ry love
Burn out the dross with fire from above

Speak Lord I pray,
Speak from Calv’ry I implore Thee
Keep that vision e’er before me
While I worship and adore Thy name!
Thy matchless name,
Precious Holy name
Thru eternal years the same.
