CLICK ARROW BY EACH SONG TO PREVIEW SONG NOTES: Featured Spiritual & Patriotic Anthems - Tracks 1 - 6: Track 1 - 'America's Anthem, Yesterday, Today & Always': ?Says Ann, 'This song blends an original opening verse with one historic verse and of course, our traditional verse which is widely known and sung. The first verse, speaks of the challenges we face today and the commitment many Americans have, to hold to our original values of God & Country, as conceived in the hearts of our Founding Fathers and as lived out by generations of great Americans. This verse also speaks of the need to pass these values along to our young, as well as to live 'by example' in our communities.The second verse is a little piece of history with lyrics that are ever relevant; and of course, the third verse is our National Anthem, which usually stands alone. For inspirational purposes, all three verses serve as the opening of the album as we celebrate our Country, it's founding principles, it's history, and it's heroes.' WATCH VIDEO NOTE: The traditional 'National Anthem' with one verse, is also part of this album; it can be found in section three of the CD content, just prior to the Missing Man Table Ceremony, Track #12. Songwriters: Ann M. Wolf is the writer of the Lyrics for Verse One. The remaining lyrics are originally from 'Defence of Fort McHenry,' a poem written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key; and the music came from a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society. Track 2 - 'How Great Thou Art': Says Ann, 'This is one of my favorites among Classic Hymns; this song is set to a background of relaxing tones, yet still keeping the traditional feel, reminiscent of a walk through the mountains while contemplating the magnificence of God, something which I love to do a lot from my home in the Smokies.' WATCH VIDEO Songwriter: This song is in the public domain. Track 3 - 'Anyway': Says Ann, 'The lyrics from this song came from a poem written by Mother Teresa; this is a message that is always an inspiration, right on time. This song goes out to all who are digging deep to find the courage to move forward in the face natural disasters, loss or sickness... or who just have a big dream and won't give up on it.

Morgan ( a.k.a. Brahe ), 1927 Published by Boosey & Hawkes, Inc. Patriotic & Spiritual Favorites from prior Ann Wolf Albums - Tracks 7 - 11: Track 7 - 'You'll Never Walk Alone': I adopted this song many years ago for it's inspirational value; but I chose to include it on this CD in honor of those amazing folks who come out on two, three, four or 18 wheels to comfort and protect families who are going through some of their most difficult days as they lay to rest their fallen loved ones who have served the cause of Freedom or who have perished in the line of duty. This song also goes out to all those angels & volunteers who offer loving support to others who are facing loss, illness, and devastation.The additional prayer you see below the song lyrics is one I have been known to sing from time to time, on the second 'go around' of this song; I penned those words in a moment of inspiration, however the publisher did not allow me to include my original second verse in the recording. Here, however, I can share this with you, and we can pray the words together. 'Prayer Through The Storm' by Ann M. Wolf' When you move through that storm lift your eyes up high And look for the Light by the shore At the end of the storm Is a golden dawn And the promise of Grace leading home Step on to the shore, climb on to the rock Though your soul is tired and worn Climb on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone!
