The 26th of January is a very Special Day for all those who Love Australia, for myself and many others it is a Day to Thank The Lord again for the beautiful Country that we live in.
Below is the Expanded Poem Advance Australia Fair, it touches my heart greatly and there is also a Power Point to enjoy called Australia’ Peaceful Shores, it shows all our Aussie States capturing the beauty of God’s awesome Creation as it shares His Truths in Scripture. There is also Advance Australia Fair presented by YouTube with beautiful graphics.

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR
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 we’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 Corner Stone
We’ll build our Nation’s might
Whose way and truth and light alone
Can guide our path aright
Our lives, a sacrifice of Love
Reflect our Master’s care
With faces turned to Heaven’s above
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair.

Thank you Diane for your appreciation of Australia and for taking the time to share on our Special day. Australia has much beauty and so does your America and other Countries too, as we know they all have the same Creator and He is Awesome and everything that comes from Him is good.
Our Ancestors prayed for our Countries and we do today too and so we have been greatly blessed but not so the Countries that have Pagan gods, their wealth is limited compared to ours and they are bankrupted Spiritually and yet God Loves them and longs to Bless them if they would only ask Him with Heartfelt Love.
If your daughter Diane watches my Power Point below she will have a big surprise that I think she will love, let me know if she does.
Thanks again Christian Love Always – Anne.
