We'Ve Gathered Here Today Oh Lord

we've gathered here today oh Lord in Manhattan's Foley Square
trusting and believing that for us You'll always be there
we thank You for the blessings and all that you have done
in our struggle for equality we now count the battle won

we've gathered here today oh Lord to stand up for righteousness
knowing that You won't allow us to settle for anything less
together the two companies
Allied Barton and FJC

we've gathered here today of Lord to give You all the glory and all the praise
a united nation of security officers and our hands to You we raise
the journey has been long but the end is now in sight
we are now members of 32BJ and together we stand and fight
just keep us on Your mind oh Lord and keep us in your heart
we say this prayer today oh Lord in the name of Jesus the Lord our God

This reminds me of another great time in America ... the million man march ... may God answer all prayers ... and may we live all faith.
