They Paid for Our Freedoms

Our faith infused
with the sacrifice of so many
they paid for our freedoms
that we would believe

Christ as the center
giving his own life
come as a sacrifice
that we would be free of sin

So many others
the saints before us
sacrificing so much
that the message would not be lost

Faithful servants
down to this age
sharing the hope of Christ
that all would know God

Paying dearly
an awful cost
they paid for our freedoms
that we would not be lost

Honor them ever
starting with our savior
conforming our lives
to those who have gone before
