🎶I’ll be homeward bound in time...
My one verse, solo instrumental of a song composed by Marta Keen Thompson in 1991. With its silent allusion to the 'prodigal son' parable in the Gospel of Luke, many church choral ensembles have presented this song. Words to the 2nd verse in reply.

"With autocracies outnumbering democracies for the first time in 20 years, and only 12% of the world’s population now living in a liberal democracy, the future of the global democratic experiment may well depend on the people of the United States."

🎶Thou wilt not let me drift...
My brief instrumental of a folk tune known as "Kingsfold". It originated in Ireland during the Middle Ages. The abridged hymn lyrics (w/subtitles) that I used are from "I Feel the Winds of God Today" written in 1906 by Jessie Adams.

"The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."
