"HAPPY 4th OF JULY!"
© 1997 Patricia L. Carpenter
Countless Soldiers gave their lives
that we might live in 'freedom',
We praise them & salute them &
have 'services' in memory for them.
Yet there's One Who DIED
to set us 'free',
We cruelly hung Him
on a 'tree'!
Many 'slam' His Holy Name
Bringing to Him lots of shame.
His Sweet Name is JESUS
Yes, He DIED, to 'free' us!
'Free' us from a life of sin
So that we can 'enter in'.
Enter Heaven's Door One Day
Please listen to what I have to say:
Yes, our Soldiers gave their lives
& that's important, don't you see,
But, JESUS, giving His very LIFE
is more important to me!
For if He NEVER died
was NEVER Crucified ~
I'd be 'bound' by sin forever
Enjoying FREEDOM - NEVER!!!
So, the next time you see a story
about a Soldier who died for our Land,
Remember The One Who died - for your SOUL
& run & take HIM by the Hand.
Let HIM lead you
through this Earth,
The One Who can give you
your 'New Birth' ~ JESUS!
