Liberty Tree- the Constitution

At the roots of this land

Juts forth a full tree

That's glorious and grand

In true liberty

Each branch spreads both high and wide

Offering much fruit thereof

Fully of the purest white

Nourishing with God's love

The Constitution, this tree

Was inspired for a purpose grand

Through our conscience, we are free

To build character that blesses man

The Tree of Liberty must be nourished with our attention to what constitutes the Constitution. This has to do with Conscience and Character, and must—in the home, church, and school—restore Christian conscience and Christian character as the keystone to the foundation of liberty and freedom.

Rosalie J. Slater, Co-Founder of The Foundation for American Christian Education

[Verse 1] At the roots of this land Rises up a living tree Quiet soil in Your hands Breathing out our liberty Every branch grows high and wide Heavy with a holy light Offering the sweetest life Pure and white Pure and white [Chorus] This tree of liberty You planted for a purpose grand To wake our hearts Our conscience free To lift and heal the sons of man We taste the fruit We feel the fire A law of love written above The Constitution Born of higher Nourishing us with God’s own love (oh yeah) [Verse 2] In the shade of these leaves Children learn to stand up tall Justice whispered on the breeze Mercy carved in every law When we choose the higher way Serve each other Hand in hand Character is shaped like clay Blessing every home and land [Chorus] This tree of liberty You planted for a purpose grand To wake our hearts Our conscience free To lift and heal the sons of man We taste the fruit We feel the fire A law of love written above The Constitution Born of higher Nourishing us with God’s own love
