Jesus
on
the
4th
of
July
by
Marilyn
Ferguson
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
