A Nation To Unite -My Journey into American History

History for me was boring lists of battles, speeches, names to memorize, and then forget. Immersing first into the Civil War for the 150th Commemoration events and now into the Revolutionary War, I have been experiencing history through the lives of re-enactors who give these periods in American history a new life.

Gettysburg prayer

As the sun sets
And the hymnals play
Fairest Jesus
Amazing is the grace of God
Spirits rise
As the bugle plays
A song of consolation
Song of consolation

Please forgive us
We are sorry
For those who died on this and distant battlefields
We are sorry
Please forgive us
Sweet Jesus please comfort them still

As the sun sets
and the hymnals play
