Antique Lyrics

The have been many times in my life when I found myself playing along with this particular piece of music. The lyrics are antique- as nobody in current times' popular music would be singing of His truth.

And the marching.

It happens, but not as much as it used to. I respect the piece and miss playing it- but not the marching....

This is an entry for week five of the Index Card a Day for the postage stamp prompt from a former week, but the current prompt of natural, or monochromatic, coloring.

I used Prang watercolor and got my hand into it for the antique feel. I used a fine Pitt pen for the lettering and pseudo-fireworks, stars and stripings.

How appropriate for the coming Independence Day celebration here in the States. Love the vintage feel you got from this.
