Verse 1
For seven endless weeks of sail
He waited hours at the rail
To glimpse the land of dream and tale
Where men are free
Verse 2
He saw a statue in the sand
She held a beacon in her hand
She held the promise of a land
Where men are…
Chorus 1
Free to trust their neighbors
Free to serve their Maker’s will
He sought a land to be from
A land where men had freedom
Still
Where men are free
Verse 3
Eighty-seven years have passed
The freedoms then are fading fast
For sin won’t let a nation last
Where men are free (Prov. 14:34)
Verse 4
So a weary human race
Turns to seek a better place (Heb. 11:13-16)
Where sin has given way to grace
And men are…
Chorus 2
Free to trust their neighbors
Free to serve their Maker’s will (Rom. 6:18, Gal. 5:13)
We seek a land to be from
A land where men have freedom (Gal. 5:1, John 8:32, John 8:36)
Still
