West Point Cadet Glee Club - Performance of Jerusalem
About the Song:
My intention for writing 'My True Only' was to bring England's national anthem, 'Jerusalem' forward. The song also speaks of faith at an intimate and global level. It represents an intimate connection with God and a connection between Heaven and Earth. It also shows the same experience with England, defining it globally and feeling it intimately. Perhaps most importantly, this song seeks the gift of Grace within our greatest desire for the person closest to us: 'God be with you'.
'My True Only' is a gift to England in honor of the great friendship shared between England and America. A gift similar to the video recording of The Cadet Glee Club of West Point singing 'Jerusalem', "Dedicated to our fast friends and allies from the United Kingdom".
'Jerusalem' and 'My True Only'
Bringing 'Jerusalem' forward, what is asked and what is answered: (Briefly)
'Jerusalem' Was the 'Lamb of God' present in England? Did the 'Countenance Divine' shine over us? Was 'Jerusalem' builded here? I will not cease as we stand to defend.
'My True Only' Thru daily prayer and love, Heaven is here to stay. The 'Love of Man' created England's beauty & ritual. The glorified defenders are always remembered. 'God be with you'
