Heritage Blues: Thomas Jefferson’s Daily Prayer as a Blues Song

Description:
Step into the spiritual and historical heart of early America with this unique blues rendition of a prayer believed to have been recited daily by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson, one of the key architects of the United States, was not only a statesman and visionary but also a man who recognized the importance of divine guidance in shaping the nation. This prayer, often attributed to him, reflects his deep concern for unity, moral virtue, and the blessings of liberty for a country still finding its identity.

Jefferson’s prayer reveals his belief that America’s success depended on its people’s faithfulness to God’s will and their dedication to justice, wisdom, and gratitude. Written during a time of great transformation, it calls for humility in leadership, unity among diversity, and reliance on God’s providence during prosperity and trials alike. This heartfelt plea has resonated across generations, reminding us of the spiritual foundation upon which America was built.

The lyrics are set to a blues arrangement that captures both the gravity of his vision and the enduring hope for America’s future. Let Jefferson’s words inspire you as we celebrate faith, heritage, and music in one powerful performance.

Original Prayer Text:
Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lyrics of the Song: Heritage Blues (Thomas Jefferson's Daily Prayer)

[Verse 1]
Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage,
We humbly beseech Thee,
That we may always prove ourselves,
A people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.

[Verse 2]
Bless our land with honorable ministry,
Sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion,
From pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.

[Chorus]
Defend our liberties,
And fashion into one united people,
The multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues.

[Verse 3]
Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom
Those to whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government,
That there may be justice and peace at home,
And that through obedience to Thy law,
We may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.

[Bridge]
In time of prosperity,
Fill our hearts with thankfulness.
And in the day of trouble,
Suffer not our trust in Thee to fail.

[Outro]
All of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
