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 I.

I'm so proud 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 saved 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.

JESUS SAYS

Come to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. I go to prepare a place for you that where I am you may be also. I died that you might live.

Thinking about freedom today, both kinds...
