Free Valentine

How can I give to God a Valentine,
when I have nothing He’s not given me?
The only thing He gave that’s truly mine
is that, for good or ill, He made me free.

This freedom seems to be the whole ball game,
we need it here to make each human choice,
the choice for love or sin for all the same,
our freedom ends up as our only voice.

So, Lord, I send my freedom back to You,
You made me free so I could choose Your way,
free to believe that what You say is true,
with free eternal love if I obey.

I freely follow Your command and call,
and send a Valentine of love to all.
