Give Me Liberty


Give me liberty or give me death
I will say to my dying breath
Given to pursue what lies within
I must also stay clear from sin

Life is dear and peace is sweet
My conscience is there, warm to meet
Thus in the face of slavery
Having faith gives me bravery

And with this courage to act and do
I'll know strength till my days are through
Following light come from above
For a life that’s filled with God and love

Thoughts from the famous saying of Patrick Henry: “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”
