Independence Day Poem

Waving in the air,

Our flag, red, blue and white,

Dancing in the sun,

Its stars shining in the light.

 

Overwhelmed with gratitude

That in this nation I do live;

Thankful for the many who

Their lives did bravely give.

 

America, America,

May God richly shed His grace;

America, America,

May you seek His radiant face.

 

Founded on a love for Him,

Surely you are blessed;

May you walk in His truth,

Committed to what is best.

 

For Independence is not free,

It is bought with bloodshed;

The flying colors of the flag

Grew from battlefields of red.

 

So let us never forget

Those who died to set us free;

Let us never forget the God

Who blesses us so lavishly.

 

On this Independence Day,

As fireworks echo in the soul,

Let us celebrate our Nation

And the One who makes us whole.

 

As colors stream gracefully

Across the dark night sky,

A reminder of colorful history

Dances before the eye.

 

The colors of freedom fly

In the flag that does wave;

For this is the land of the free

And the home of the brave.

 

Glory, Glory to God

For loving our nation so;

It is in embracing Truth

That pure freedom we do know.

 

America, America,

May God richly shed His grace;

America, America,

May you seek His radiant face.

 

I thank You, my Lord,

That in this nation I do live;

I thank those who for freedom

Their lives did bravely give.

 

For, dancing in the sun,

Its stars shining in the light,

Waving gallantly in the air is

Our flag, red, blue and white.
