An Independence Day Blessing

Independence Day!

God bless America and keep her free!

Free from deception;

Free from destruction;

Free from demoralization.

Independence Day!

God bless you and keep you free!

Free from fiery darts;

Free from fearful thoughts;

Free from futile “oughts.”

“It is for freedom that

Christ has set you free” –

I bless you this Independence Day

To “stand firm therefore,

And not submit again to

A yoke slavery” (Gal. 5:1).
