FREEDOM

SNIPPET

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

SONG
Freedom’s never free

Standing on a hillside

Where the river meets the sea

White crosses without number

Line the fields of peace

And each one a silent witness

Staring back at me

Every cross a story

Of another place in time

Where young men thought it worthy

To give their life for mine

And for the sake of honor

Left their dreams behind

And for the price they paid

I'm forever in their debt

Their memory will not die

'Cause I will not forget

I will stand and hold my head up high

I will dedicate my life

To the glory of the ones who had to die

I will live, live what I believe

If for no one else but me

I will remember

That freedom's never free

It was on another hillside

Outside the city gates

The battle lines were drawn

As soldiers took their place

The Father watched in silence

As a cross was raised

With freedom drawing closer

He took His final breath

He drank our cup of guilt

And took the sting from death

Heaven's Finest Soldier

clothed in human flesh

And for the price He paid

I'm forever in His debt

The cross will never die

'Cause I will not forget

I will stand and hold my head up high

I will dedicate my life

To the glory of the One who had to die

I will live, live what I believe

If for no one else but me

To remember that

Freedom's Never Free

I will walk free

I will stay free

I will live free

I will die free!

 

Sentence Prayer

 


Jesus, you are the constant reminder freedom is never free.  You have freed us from sin, guilt and hate.  Thank you.  YOu truly are a lion and a lamb. Thank you on this day the men and women who died a lion protecting us lambs.  May their example cause us to rise up against the injustice of this world, afirm the rule of Christ!  Amen
