Rep. Timothy Bledsoe, from the 1st District, offered the following invocation:

“Almighty God, giver of all good things: We thank You for the natural majesty and beauty of this land. They restore us, though we often destroy them.

Thank you for the great resources of this nation. They make us rich, though we often exploit them.

We thank You for the men and women who have made this country strong. They are models for us, though we often fall short of them.

Thank you for the torch of liberty which has been lit in this land. It sustains our life, though we have been faithless again and again.

Help us O Lord, to finish the good work here begun. Strengthen our efforts to blot out ignorance and prejudice and to abolish poverty and crime. And hasten the day when all our people, with many voices in one united chorus, will glorify Your holy Name. Amen.”
