Soldiers going off to battle
Fighting wars with bravery
While we sit in comfort, knowing
That our freedom is not free

We pledge allegiance to the flag
That tells all we’ve received
Red stripes, the blood of countless soldiers
Proving freedom is not free

Let us not forget their service
Sacrifice to make us free
But, even more important let us
Not forget Mt. Calvary

Yes, the soldiers earn our trust
But, how much more should He?
The Son of God loved us enough
To give His life up willingly

And though the soldiers often give their
Lives just so we can be free
No soldier in the world has power
To guarantee our liberty

Yet Christ not only fought the battle
Dying, suffering agony
But rising from the grave He gave
The final shout of victory

Death has lost its sting, yet now
Through new eyes we may see
Jesus’ awful death reveals that
Truly-freedom is not free.
