Miracle Camp and BMA

After reading and commenting on a friend's blog entry about memorizing poetry and songs and Bible verses, I took a stroll down memory lane. It all came back to me: Bible Memory Association, Miracle Camp, Dr. W, and those wonderful little memory books. I suddenly recalled humid nights at Miracle Camp in Shreveport, LA and the song we would sing every night: "Miracle Camp." A few years later, when I heard the anthem "God of Our Fathers," I thought "Hey, they took the Miracle Camp song tune and changed the words!" (Yes, I lived under a rock.) Here are what I thought were the original words to the song:

Miracle Camp, we gather here again.
Miracle Camp, the place that God did plan.
Through many years, Thy wisdom did design
This lovely place for fellowship divine.

Here are the original lyrics:

God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies.
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.
