Freedom to Love

One of our greatest treasures
to be remembered all year long
the freedom of religion
to worship as we choose
a freedom to love as Christ did
to go about in the world

Our freedoms a double-edged sword
where there is love there is hate
our task as followers of Christ
to continue to do his work
offering love and salvation
to the ends of the earth
