“It is for freedom
That Christ has
Set you free.
Stand firm, then,
And do not let yourselves
Be burdened again
By a yoke of slavery.” (Gal. 5:1)
As America celebrates her freedom,
I bless you to celebrate yours.
You can stand firm
In the day of temptation
Not in order to be free,
But because you are free!
The law that your foe
Leveraged to condemn you
Has been fulfilled by
The Savior who came to
Redeem you.
The old system has gone,
The new covenant has come.
I bless you today to stand firm
In the assurances of God’s grace
Through which you have received
The fullness of the Holy Spirit.
You are FREE.
Free from condemnation.
Free from hell’s accusations.
Free from fleshly bondage.
It is for freedom that Christ has
Set you free!
