In a moment of reflection
pausing to contemplate
may we stop on Independence
Day
to think of our freedoms
in a totally new way
To answer honestly
the echoes of Christ’s
sermon
which freedoms do we value
which we see as a bother
a limit on our excess
Living out the Beatitudes
an echo of His life
loving as He did
how our Savior walked
how He lived and died for us
Surrendering His station
emptied of heaven
falling to the earth
walking humbly as a man
that we would have new birth
Living out the Beatitudes
humbly in this life
as His followers, disciples,
sharing gently His message
of love
that all would have new life
