Country superstar Alan Jackson honors our country with this stunning rendition of ‘America The Beautiful.’
Samuel Ward originally composed this beloved classic in 1883. A few years later, Katharine Lee Bates added the lyrics that we know and love today.
‘O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!’
Alan Jackson is a country music icon. For decades, he has churned out hit after hit such as ‘Chattahoochee’ and ‘Remember When.’ From sold out tours to winning almost every country music award created, Alan is truly a legend in the music industry. Whenever he performs, he elevates the song to whole new level. And that’s exactly what is happening with his latest performance.
Today, he is performing the iconic anthem, ‘America The Beautiful’ on the 2021 ‘A Capitol Fourth.’
The touching performance aired on PBS for July 4th and featured a variety of artists including Jennifer Nettles, Gladys Knight and Jimmy Buffet.
Just listen as Alan takes centerstage and belts out these patriotic lyrics that we all cherish so deeply.
‘America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!’
As you hear these words, remember that God surrounds each and every one of us. And when we honor His word, He will bless our nation. We are God’s chosen people and it is our duty to stand for His truth.
Psalm 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!”
