Godzgear Blog: Our Blessed Australia

As I travel my beautiful home land of Australia I am blown away by the Majesty and creativity of our God. I was once again reminded of the great blessing passed on to me by those who have gone before. Those who worked the land day in and day out carving out towns, farms and communities. Looking to the future they wanted to bless their descendants with a homeland based on honesty, truth and Godliness. I am so Thankful for their sacrifice and Godliness. Therefore today I want to share with you these photos of our beautiful Australia and the words of our national anthem. "The last verse I have included may not have been in the original anthem. However I like this additional verse as it tells of our dependants on our Creator God."

Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free;

We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;

Our home is girt by sea; Our land abounds in nature’s gifts Of beauty rich and rare;

In history’s page, let every stage Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We’ll toil with hearts and hands;

To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands;

For those who’ve come across the seas We’ve boundless plains to share;

With courage let us all combine To Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.

With Christ our head and cornerstone, we'll build our nation's might;

Whose way and truth and light alone, can guide our path aright;
