In thinking about Independence Day this year, the following song by Whiteheart came to mind. Remember this oldie but goodie? I may just have to break out the old cd and crank it up once again. Have a great celebration of not only our nation's freedom, but the of the freedom found only in Christ as well!
Independence Day by Whiteheart
"Listen to our declaration, listen to our testament
We've been given a revelation, we are sure of where we stand
So let the banner be unfurled, we've found the light of hope in a dying world
Hear the myth of modern man, you're the god of your own land
They call you weak, a spineless fool, say you've given up your right to rule
But I have been to the land of me, and I know I was never free, freedom came when I gave it all away
CHORUS:
That's why I call it Independence Day, call it Independence Day
Let the rockets blaze across the sky, raise the flag of faith up high
Let the doubters call it what they may, It's Independence Day
-2-
The world can crown another hundred kings, they may call it slavery
But the biggest chain I knew was me, so let the idols tumble down
The walls of lies crumble to the ground. I know where salvation can be found-let the idols tumble down
So join us in the celebration, it's the birth of a holy nation
As people of light we are proud to say
That's why I call it Independence Day, call it Independence Day
Let the doubters call it what they may, call it Independence Day, oh it's Independence Day
