  Jesus On The 4th Of July

   

  We gather ‘round to celebrate

  On Independence Day

  Pay homage to our country

  As the children run and play.

   

  With barbeques and picnics

  And fireworks in the air

  The flag we own is proudly flown

  To show how much we care.

   

  

   

  The stars and stripes spell freedom

  She waves upon the breeze

  While bursts of colors can be seen

  Above the towering trees.

   

  This is all quite wonderful

  We revel in delight

  But God above in divine love

  Has brought this day to light.

   

  

   

  With just a stroke of liberty

  A touch of His great hand

  He gave democracy to us

  And helped this country stand. 

   

  The stripes upon our stately flag

  Were touched by His sweet grace

  Each star of white that shines so bright

  Reflects His loving face.

   

  

   

  So as you turn to face the flag

  For battles that were fought

  Be filled with pride for those who died

  And freedoms that were bought. 

   

  But don’t forget to thank the One

  That gives the bright display

  The reason why we paint the sky

  On Independence Day
