Celebrating Freedom

What joy to live in such a place
That holds freedom high 
With gratitude for such a gift 
Think long what brought it by 

It is a gift, hard fought and won
A gift through sacrifice 
A gift to treasure and protect
Bought with excessive price

Free to live and to thrive
To seek the truth to know 
Realities of this life 
Learning as one grows 

Free to preserve, further peace
Bridge differences in love
Choices part of that great gift 
Heritage costly won 

Pray be thankful for this gift 
Throw it not away 
Share its glories of living hope
To others on their way 

Come celebrate the gifts we have
Midst goodness and the strife 
Praise God for His blessings long
Uplifting each one’s life

Seek the way, the truth, the life
From whence freedom springs 
It is the truth that makes us free
No matter what life brings 

John 14:6 NKJV
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Matthew 6:33 
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

John 8:32 
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
