The day in which one celebrates, Independence of a union of states,

Independence from powers outside; freedom that was once denied,

The freest nation in this world, a point that others sometimes herald,

Causing many who are weary in heart, to come here for a fresh start.



A day of real joyous celebration, all across this now powerful nation,

As our voices together are raised, with full hearts a nation is praised,

Festive fireworks are always planned, in many cities across this land,

Celebrating what many of us see, as the greatest nation in all history.



Liberty we celebrate by proclamation, extends to all within this nation,

However that liberty extends only, to the borders of this dear country,

Beyond the borders and the sea, the nation’s people may not be free,

When many travel to other lands, freedoms turn into other’s demands.



Demands which turn into bondage, leaving this land of great privilege,

Privileges that others only dream of, as they look to this land we love,

A land that is so blessed by God, many agree, on this day with a nod,

But, forgetting Him most of the year; living so privileged, without fear.



There’s a freedom many don’t know, as their freedoms for them grow,

Liberty, from the bondage of sin, that captivates our land from within,

That freedom which we celebrate, doesn’t free men from Satan’s hate,

As the Devil leads a war against God, all across this land that we trod.



Freedom from such an evil foe, comes only when the Savior we know,

Who left all the Glory of Eternity, coming to earth to set captives free,

The only true freedom on this earth, comes to man, by a spiritual birth,

Through the Liberty in Jesus Christ, when in Him they receive New Life.
