Old Glory

A symbol and reminder of our Savior, you see. I know this is what it was meant to be. On His back stripes of blood so red, Whipped and beaten with spikes of lead. The stripes of white are a reminder of, His complete purity, divinity and love. The stars individual, but to Him the same, He loves each one of us, that's why He came. The color of blue, like the sky so vast, His grace, mercy and forgiveness that will forever last. So when you see it flying so full in the wind, Remember freedom, this is what Jesus came to send.
