SOLDIERS

SOLDIERS

IN MY MIND’S EYE

I SEE A LINE OF SOLDIERS

PASSING BY

THE LINE SO LONG

ONE COULD SEE NEITHER END

THEY STUMBLED BY

SOME WOUNDED

SOME LAME

SOME SCARRED

BY WOUNDS INVISIBLE

BY WHAT RIGHT

DOES ANYONE HAVE

TO SEND

PEOPLE OFF TO FIGHT

FOR CAUSES NOT THEIR OWN

FOR NATIONS UNGRATEFUL

THEIR LEADERS LIVE IN LUXURY

THE SOLDIERS LIVE IN TRENCHES

WHEN WILL THE CHILDREN

OF THE LEADERS

GO OFF TO WAR

INSTEAD OF COLLEGE

FROM CHILDHOOD

WAR

AND THE RUMORS OF WAR

HAVE BEEN CONSTANT

BUT GOD SAYS

THERE WILL NO KILLING

ON MY SACRED MOUNTAIN

READ EARTH

WHICH IS GOD’S SACRED MOUNTAIN

BUT PAUL SAYS

KNOWING SOME MEN ARE EVIL

IF IT IS POSSIBLE, SO FAR AS IT DEPENDS ON YOU, LIVE PEACEABLY WITH ALL.

IN THE MIDST

OF WAR

BE PEACEFUL

GLORY NOT IN VICTORY

REMEMBER THE VANQUISHED

ARE GOD’S CHILDREN TOO

GOD’S WORLD

DEMANDS IT

HE TAUGHT US TO PRAY

YOUR KINGDOM COME

YOUR WILL BE DONE

ON EARTH

AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

IF WE THINK IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

ARE WE NOT SAYING

THE LORD’S PRAYER

IS PIOUS PRATTLE

I DO NOT BELIEVE

THAT THE GOD

WHO LEAPED TO EARTH

FROM HEAVEN

WOULD LIE TO ME
