The song reminds us of the amazing freedom that we have in this amazing country. But, it also reminds us that we experience a greater freedom as citizens of the Kingdom of God. Lately there has been a lot of hulla-ballo about the Supreme Court ruling about health care and the upcoming Presidential elections. However, no matter where you stand on the politics of of this Kingdom, I pray that all who belong to the Kingdom of God will stand in unity for Christ. For the freedom gained to be a citizen of that Kingdom came at a much greater cost.
Depending on when Christ comes the United States of America may fall. But no matter what the Kingdom of God will stand forever. So I challenge you to celebrate this Independence Day not just for the freedom which we receive in this great nation, but also for the freedom we experience in the Greatest Kingdom!
Statue of Liberty
In New York
Harbor stands a lady
With a torch
raised to the sky
And all who
see her know she stands for
Liberty for
you and me
I'm so glad
to be called an American
To be named
with the brave and the free
I will honor
our flag and our trust in God
And the
Statue of Liberty
On lonely
Golgotha stood a cross
With my Lord
raised to the sky
And all who
kneel there live forever
As all the
saints can testify
I'm so glad
to be called a Christian
To be named
with the ransomed and whole
As the
Statue liberates the citizen
So the cross
liberates the soul
Oh the cross
is my Statue of Liberty
It was there
that my soul was set free
Unashamed
I'll proclaim that a rugged cross
Is my Statue
of Liberty
