To Live In God's Freedom

By Ruth Y. Nott

How can we live in God's freedom

when our children are threatened at school?

How can we live in God's freedom

when hatred and violence rule?

It's time to look deep for the answers.

We all must join in and take part.

It's time to look deep for the answers.

We must search with our minds and our hearts.

For unless we all work together,

we may never know freedom again.

For unless we all work together,

intimidation and discrimination will win.

So reach out to your neighbor and pray.

Pray for guidance from Heaven above.

reach out to your neighbor and say,

"Let us live in forgiveness and love.

May God's freedom always be ours

as we talk and we walk side by side.

May God's freedom always be ours...

for all, this whole world wide!"
