As an American, I support a secular government that frees people of all faiths to worship as they please.
25,000 people gave their lives in the American Revolution to give birth to this freedom.
Over four hundred and five thousand Americans gave their lives in World War 2; one of the reasons they fought was to protect Freedom of Religion.
Our principles make us great; but only when we strive to practice them
Everyone who seeks freedom has place in the United States
Hear our prayer
We have sinned before Thee
Have compassion upon us and upon our children
Help us bring an end to pestilence, war, and famine
Cause all hate and oppression to vanish from the earth
Inscribe us for blessing in the Book Of Life
Let the new year be a good year for us

I’ve loved Barbra Streisand’s music for a very long time, but this is the first time I’ve heard this glorious song. Thank you.
