Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life.
Remove the have nots, the can nots and the do nots that I have in my mind.
Erase the will nots, may nots, might nots that may find a home in my heart.
Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots that obstruct my life.
And most of all, Dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life all of the 'am nots' that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough. Amen.

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 than
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!
