If life is like a box of chocolates...reach for the hope filled kind!
(and have a little chocolate for your soul)
​
Free.
​
The fireworks light up the night
Displaying colors bold and bright
Reminding us that our country
Was founded that we might be free
​
Free to worship how we choose
Free to own things and to use
Our time, our talents as we do
Free our dreams to here pursue
But there is a freedom greater yet
And I hope we do not forget
That we and all men can be free
Because of Christ and Calvary
Free from sin and guilt and shame
Just by calling on His name
Free to live a life brand new
Free to let His love shine through
​
Freedom means a price was paid
Paid for those, once enslaved
Our hearts with thankfulness it lifts
It is not a right it is a gift
But even free men can be bound
And search for freedoms they had once found
Though you have been freed quite possibly
You can live as though you are not free
​
So in this day if you are free
In freedom be all you can be
Rejoice in the freedoms that you wear
Your freedom choose to live and share
Be thankful for the little things
And the big…that freedom brings
And in this day in everything
Rejoice and let your FREEDOM ring!
