Lyrics

1 Since I am free, I'll speak my mind.
I'll praise my God, for all mankind.
Thanks for the flowers that bloom and grow.
Thanks for the birds, the crops we sow.

2 This sinful world, must pay its price;
Of wars and pain and human strife.
The way to peace, God gave to man,
But man refused, God's simple plan.

3 God made us free to choose or not
Eternal life through Christ begot.
His way is love; What else will do?
His love unites, All who are true.
