For our independence a great army they fought, And by God's hand a miracle was wrought.
Fight was the only way they could see,
To get independence; this is the way it had to be.
So they fought and won.
Whether by sword, bayonet or gun.
They fought for our liberty.
They fought so America could be free.
On July 4, 1776, was our first Independence Day.
A price for freedom they were willing to pay.
It was hard fighting back in those days, America must be free to follow God's ways.
With a ragtag army God beat our foe, Maybe the purpose-the people did not know.
The Gospel God wanted America to preach, Now, those that have not heard we must reach.
We weren't there on our first Independence Day, We still fight to keep it that way.
Now America has departed from Your way.
Lord, come forgive America of her sins, don't delay.
America must return to what You called her to do.
Lest we lose favor with You.
If America forgets You and goes her own way, How much longer will we celebrate Independence Day?
People that came thought America was a land of bliss, But you see God had a hand in all this.
Today we celebrate Independence Day,
And I pray this is the way it will always stay.

Lord I started hearing about You at a very young age. I would listen as Your Word was read from each page.
Jesus, I know from God You were sent.
And of my sins I did repent.
Lord Your presence I now need to feel.
Won't You come touch me and heal?
Have I done wrong, is that why You are so quiet?
Are You going to stay silent yet another night?
Why do You not come when I ask?
Is listening to me become a task? Is there no answer when I pray?
Are You going to stay silent still another day?
Is this the way You want things to stay?
Don't You want our relationship better than this way?
Must I be the only one with something to say, While You remain silent night and day?
Are You not going to speak to me anymore?
Has my seeking You become a bore?
Is what was between us over, is it really gone?
Lord why have You been silent so long?
There was so much we used to talk about.
Now You are silent, about my life is there some doubt?
Is there more than I am that I should be?
Then break the silence and speak to me.
Why were your thoughts that I do not care?
All this time My blessing with you I did share.
When you called I heard. I saw each tear.
I was always there, you just didn't realize how near.
