And you gave our fathers the wisdom and faith to establish this new nation premised on the biblical and and foundational principle that all men are created equal and free before you. Through your divine providence, Our founders acknowledged and boldly proclaimed the self-evident truth that every single person is created in your image and that we are endowed by you, our creator, with our inalienable rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Lord, we know that that declaration, which has been recognized as our nation's creed, has also been the inspiration for the single greatest force for peace and justice and human flourishing. (02:18–02:35)
