Hold Fast To Faith.
Desert Not The Rank, But As
Brave Soldiers March On To Victory.
I Am Happy And Shall Remain So
As Long As You Keep The Flag Flying.
-Marcus Garvey
Look At The Proud!
They Trust In Themselves,
In Their Lives Are Cooked;
But The Righteous Will Live By Their Faith.
Habakkuk 2:4 Nit
As Mans And Women's Of God,
Creator And Maker Of All,
We Are Determined To Stand!
We Are Strong And Weak,
Rich And Poor;
Do Not Define Us By What We Do
And Who We Know;
We Belong To God.
We Love The Lord And Our Families,
We Plant and Build And Play.
We Are Strong.
Even When We Hurt So Bad That
If We Cried Out In Pain,
All Creation Would Groan;
We Hold Our Pain In
And Pretend It's Not There.
Don't Let Out Mass Make You Think
We Don't Care;
We Care, We Care Deeply.
We're Proud Of Our Fathers,
Natural And Adoption,
We Honor And Respect Our Mothers
At Home And Afar,
Our Sisters And Brothers
Are Closer Than Many,
Our Friends Share Our Growing Pains
And Make Us Laugh.
Our Wives And Partners Share A
Bond With Us,
And Intimacy With Us And God.
Our Children Are Our Seed,
The Essence Of Our Love.
We Are Ourselves,
Noble And Free, Bold Warriors,
Gentle Guides, Searching For Our Destiny.
We Remember Our History.
We Remember That Jesus
Truly Loves Us.
We Know That As Men"s And Women"s,
We Can Stand Tall,
Love, Organize, Create,
Be Somebody, Do Good.
We Are Really Somebody!
With God's Grace We Can Save
Our Churches, Our Jobs, Our Homes,
Our Children's, Ourselves, Our Communities, And Our Country.
