This Is Freedom

The red is for the blood that flows In places we've forgotten The white resembles innocence In some ways we've been lost in The blue it stands for vigilance and holding fast to righteousness But have we lost our way? The stars are for remembering the glory and the victory where proudly we can say This is freedom Where strength and confidence collide Along the straight and narrow When peace is found in sacrifice By patriots and heroes Where grace abounds and evil dies truth resounds above the lies It's only found one way And here we are today This is freedom This rock we stand upon One nation under God This truth we can't ignore This is freedom A home that speaks of liberty Beyond our institutions If this is a reality, then where are the solutions? A place where we can stand and sing the worship of our risen King Without regret or shame The hope for life eternally, we hold a light for all to see Without a guilt or blame It's what we claim This is freedom This is freedom This is freedom This is freedom Even though the fight is long The enemy may wound us The stripes are for the rays of hope That never cease to lead us Guide us home This is freedom
