Freedom of the Fruitful

Independence Day

"The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age... to show that the LORD is upright: He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him" (Psalm 92:13-15). "The truth shall make you free... If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" (John 8:32,36). "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Corinthians 3:17).

The freedom to be fruitful now
And in the days ahead,
Our God has promised to endow
To all those Spirit-led.

For if the Son shall make us free
We shall be free indeed,
To flourish like the cedar tree
As God supplies our need.

So may we show by fruitfulness,
In old age or in youth,
In God, our Rock, is righteousness,
And freedom in His truth.
