A Patriotic Hymn from 1832, known as 'America.' I was inspired late one night to start recording as I sang it and here is what I captured. I hope you enjoy it.

Story behind the song
I was inspired late one night to start recording as I sang it and here is what I captured. I sent it to SpiritFM in Fla and they wanted to play it as is.....Thanks SpiritFM...... I hope you enjoy it. Here's the story behind the song: Moved deeply by the desire to create a national hymn that would allow the American people to offer praise to God for our wonderful land, a twenty-four-year-old theological student, Samuel Francis Smith, penned these lines on a scrap of paper in less than thirty minutes in 1832. Yet even today many consider "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" their favorite patriotic hymn and call it our "unofficial national anthem."
