I Stood Beside The Flag Today

 

by Louise Pinkerton Fritz

I stood beside the flag today

And watched it gently wave;

I saw amidst the stars and stripes

America, the great...

A land to which the masses turn,

A land that still is free,

A country that still has been spared

The rule of tyranny.

I stood beside the grand old flag,

The tried red, white and blue...

Compatriots, this flag and I,

Of a nation fair to view.

A nation built upon God's truth,

Where He is still the key

To keep this, our glorious land,

A torch of liberty.
