A Bite of Texas

Have you ever thought about the Texas Pledge of Allegiance? There is one ya know and we are once again a living part in history…
.
Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible.
.
Very recently amended July 15, 2007, in House Bill 1034, 80th Legislature to now officially be
.
Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God.
.
It’s short sweet and straight to the point. It’s amazing to me how many Texans don’t know our pledge or that we have a state song. "Texas, Our Texas" by William J. Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright
.
Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry testO Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest..
.
(chorus)
.
Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow, With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
.
(chorus)
.
Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!Mother of heroes, we come your children true,Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.
.
(chorus)
.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
