Note from the Arranger
I do not take my freedom for granted. While this world is not my home, I am grateful to live in a country where I have the freedom to worship God without limits.
To me, freedom is more important in a spiritual sense than a physical sense, which is why I love patriotic songs that turn our eyes to God–Who allows us to have this freedom.
These arrangements capture the beauty and joy of freedom. I hope they inspire you as you celebrate.
