Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

LAND OF THE FREE,

HOME OF THE BRAVE

 

Land of the Free

and Home of the Brave,

freedom’s only found

one way . . .

 

and it’s a narrow way . . .

 

and we can’t be brave

if we’re not free . . .

in bondage to a lie

of self-sufficiency . . .

we fear for our future

because we’re our only God . . .

we’re hauling too much baggage

to go the narrow road . . .

materialism, greed,

gluttony, pride,

a strong belief in relative truth

and we swallow every lie . . .

perverted love . . . and violence . . .

children kill children and die . . .

prescriptions abound for depression

with no relief  . . . and we wonder why?

Why?

 

Land of the Free

and Home of the Brave,

freedom’s only found

one way . . .

 

and it’s a narrow way . . .

 

You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way. But the gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.” (John 10:8-9)   There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them. (Acts 4:12)
