True Liberty

America the beautiful

Consider one of your icons

Your great green 'Lady Liberty'

Who by the way, you should know

Is the image of demonic goddess

She says, "Give me your tired and poor"

A noble call to be sure

But consider this and know truth

She is truly nothing but a cheap substitute

She is the image of a pagan goddess

A mere fleeting shadow of pure reality

At best

An airy, inadequate substitute for a real man

There is a man who said, "Come unto me"

He beckons to the "weary and heavy laden"

He calls, "Come to me and find rest"

In the best of history books it is written

He spoke it millennia ago

It echoes today, for he is still alive

He IS liberty, he INVENTED freedom

The God-man, Jesus the Christ

Creator of all real things

Revealed in human form

Deity in flesh, not mere concrete and copper

Whom he "sets free is free indeed"

Now here is One worth running to

Can a statue save you?

If 'Lady Liberty's' claim was true

Then why is America no longer a safe place?

But the One who lives again, he saves

He died to save you

And returned to life to prove his glory

What liberty will you choose?

A statue not 200 years old?

Or the author of life itself?

Who exists from eternity past

Living and able to save you from all

America the beautiful, choose Christ!

The One from whom all freedom flows

All the freedom you once knew came from him

And only in returning to him

Will you be truly free
