While standing or saluting during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner before a sports event, fans understand that the game will not start until the last lyrics are sung, “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”įollowing an attack on our nation in 1814 by the British, Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner with joy and admiration after an all night bombardment when he discovered in the morning that the flag of our great nation was still standing at Fort McHenry, assuring our nation had not been overcome. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” (John 8:7)
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
