From A Star To Stripes
by The Southern Plainsmen Quartet

Album: Simply Faith

Betsy never sewed a star like this star
Though in love she made a flag for this great land
For the star that shone so bright, as the angel sang that night
Brought the light of the world to Bethlehem

Betsy never knew a stripe like his stripes
For her stripes were born of love and his of hate
For my freedom hers were made and for my healing his were laid
And I could never thank them both enough today

From a star to stripes was the life of Jesus Christ
From a manger bed to the cross where he was led
And though there’s glory in old glory she can never quite
Compare to the glory of the cross of Calvary
(Repeat)

And though there’s glory in old glory she can never quite
Compare to the glory of the cross of Calvary – Calvary, Calvary
