Independence Day

INDEPENDENCE DAY We gained our independence As a nation based on God Our forefathers dared to go Where none before had trod God blessed them for their efforts Though many lives were lost And God gave them the victory But bloodshed was the cost Today, we live in freedom To worship as we please Where sins are all forgiven Christ shed His blood for these We may be independent And still live free, you see But we need always remember That freedom isn't free It took the blood of many To bring us to this end And precious blood is still flowing Because the world is filled with sin But God, in His infinite wisdom Made a plan for our salvation By sending His Son to die for us That we may be a great nation For those who trust in Jesus As their Savior and their Lord He'll call us home to Heaven To receive our great reward So as we celebrate this year And the price Christ had to pay Thank God for Him and the lives it takes To continue Independence Day Curtis Moorman 30 June 2009
