INDEPENDENCE

By June 27, 2015No Comments

These are the words of a song that I wrote in 2009. I started to write an Independence Day blog this morning, but decided that these words express everything I might have to say about the current state of things in America.
New Independence Logo-1
Independence blessed America
With our cherished Liberty
Purchased with the blood of men
Who gave it so courageously

For the sake of lives they could only dream
Generations yet to live
Free of bondage, free of fear
To savor all that God could give

Independence! In dependence!
In dependence on the Lord of Liberty
Independence! In dependence!
In dependence on Jesus our King!

They tell us now the American dream
Oppresses the whole world’s poor
They’ve made our flag their banner of shame
The enemy has breached our shore

We’re overrun now by a faithless mob
Who desecrate our history
The time has come for the free and the brave
To take back our identity!

Christians of America
Raise Old Glory high!
In dependence on Christ alone
Live free or live to die

For the sake of lives we can only dream
Generations of unborn
Free of bondage, free of to live
Their heritage restored

America! America!
What has become of thee?
Stir hearts anew to rescue you
From foes of Liberty

Independence! In dependence!
In dependence on the Lord of Liberty!
Independence! In dependence!
In dependence on Jesus our King!

In Dependence!
