Carey,
At school we had a paraliturgy and we sang America the Beautiful and it reminded me of the lyrics "God mend thine every flaw" It reminded me of a certain man...Obama

I am proud to call this young man, 12 year old Jimmy, my friend.
Here are the words to America the Beautiful:

America The Beautiful
Lyrics
O, beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
O, beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern impassioned stress,
A thoroughfare for freedom beat,
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more that self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!
O, beautiful for patriot dream,
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
