FREEDOM TO CHOOSE
Every moment of every hour we are free to choose
Between two great powers, whether to win or loose
The battle over evil, or take the much easier way
By letting wicked Satan take the victory of the day.

Agency is given to all who are born on this earth,
A gift that helps to us heaven, a gift of great worth,
We are never forced to be wise, good and kind,
But have the choice, the true, safe way to find .

Do we, each morning, I’ll go my own sweet way, say,
Not ask dear God in heaven, to guide you His way?
The joy of following the Master is true joy indeed
And upon the fruits of sweet labour we will feed.

In battle fields far and wide many have died in pain,
The freedom for mankind was their main aim,
The Master did not shirk from drinking the bitter cup,
Every soul from death to safe, yes, He drank it up.

Power greedy men others wish to control in every way,
Force them in all the things they do and the things they say,
But we are blessed by living in a country that is truly free,
So we can choose the right, be the best that we can be.

No one can force us to do things we know that are wrong,
No one can make you get mad, that will be your own song,
We cannot blame others, the freedom to choose is our own,
Whether we stay close to truth and light or in evil ways roam.
