Christ gave us Freedom – v5

Our freedoms which we value
life and liberty;
seeking our own path
what we want to be

Bound to our nation
believing our common creed;
but failing to be mindful
that Christ gave us freedom,
that Christ made us free

More important than all others
paying a horrible cost;
not just in going to the cross
but descending to earth at first

Emptied of His divinity
though He knew the price
He would have to pay,
to give us true liberty
to free us from the grave.
