Christ gave us Freedom

Our freedoms which we values
life and liberty
seeking our own path
what we want to be
bound to our nation
believing our common creed
failing to be mindful
that Christ gave us freedom
more important than all others
paying a horrible cost
not just in going to the cross
but descending to earth at all
emptied of his divinity
though he knew
the price he would have to pay
to free us from sin and death
to give us true liberty
