Let me tell you when in grade school we used to sing this song every morning before the pledge of allegiance. Then teacher would lead us in prayer for what the day had in store. I love this song! Also Americ the beautiful.

[@errittsmith4536]

We sang this song as closing song in Church yesterday morning no matter who sings it brings tears to my eyes it is a beautiful song it makes me think of those who have fault for our freedom and those who serve our country everyday let us remember the real Heroes that keep us safe 🙏

[@fideladizon3997]

'Tis for me this patriotic song is almost a solemn prayer at it's best. Lee Greenwood certainly did a remarkable performance, every word tugging at one's heartstrings. I read Rev. Samuel Francis Smith was very young when he wrote the lyrics in only 35 minutes in 1831.

[@jeffreywilliams4348]

We Praise Thy Holy Name, Thank for ABBA Father for this beautiful land of America. You gave to all of US.

[@oscarorozco7368]

Wow! It is beautiful. It should always be sung at church everyday. 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻

[@rosemariegray4007]

I just had to look up these words to this song this night, as our country's freedom seems under attack. These words really comforted my heart and spirit. Thank you Lee.

[@JWPeace_4MyBoys]

I agree

[@LanceEdwardLeichtle]

This song should be our national prayer song for our country

[@williamjames5115]

I believe "God of Our Fathers" currently fills that role.

[@berlinguoify1]

One of my favorite songs. I remember hearing it in grade school in the 1950's. We need to hear it often and hear it NOW! And yes, I am one proud U.S. Navy Veteran (disabled) 1968-1974 Vietnam Era, a believer and a 10th generation AmerICAN!

DANIEL 7 13 ln my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a Son of man,coming with clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Day and was led into his presence 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power;all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him.His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

For the past 2 years I feel like this song has gone on deaf ears and has no meaning. I wish it can again. I hope freedom rings again.

[@sodogonmei8019]

Sincerely this is much better the miss Clarkson sang on that day. Infact this is the best version I have heard so far as far as the arrangement is concern.

[@fideladizon3997]

Kelly Clarkson's version touched me to the core but Lee Greenwood's rendition haunted me and ripped through my heart. I am not easily given to tears, but on this instance I simply gave up and let the tears flow freely. Living in this country is a gift. God bless America, my beloved adopted country!

[@charlesdunham4542]

When I was in elementary school we sang it every day. I remember being proud. My g.g.g.grandfather wrote it in 1831the Reverend had just finished Harvard so he was still young. He was a mighty man of God and a great poet. It was written for God and Country. God bless America again

Why does it sound so much like God Save The Queen?

[@SuperPonce123]

Rose English Deluxe because they copy it, crazy

[@Inapeartree]

Because it is a contrafactum. It uses the same melody, different lyrics for an intended purpose. This happened to several British songs during and after the fight with the British. In this case and all the others, it was an intentional switch of lyrics-- to highlight freedom from the monarchy.
