MY WISH FOR THOSE WHO WAR AGAINST ME

GOD BLESS THIS GREAT AMERICA
O'er heart I place my hand
Tho danger hovers all around
United we must stand

The evil ones who wage this war
On lands of bowed down knees
Should tremble at the fate they face
From lands of brave and free

For God does commandeer our force
And God knows where they hide
We'll lift our voice to heaven
For in praise our God abides

We'll sail these troubled waters
Tho waves are soaring high
The Beacon Light is flashing
Illuminating sky

I weep for those who loose their lives
And I weep for those who grieve
Assaulted by an enemy
As they, your liberty retrieve

But Spirit sweeps with magnitude
He soars with Power and Might
Inside us is a brand new hope
Tho teardrops dim our sight

Deep silence echos 'round the world
The still before the storm
Silent, Holy anger
A new era being born

We are fighting ruthless war
That brings God's plans to be
We're fierce as lion in battle
But as lamb on bended knee

Calculated hatred
Must be dealt with by strong hand
Or hatred once again will strike
Our great beloved lands

Adapt to changes coming
Do not whimper, do not whine
Support your country's leaders
As we're told in Word Divine

Stay steadfast in God's Holy Word
Burn Holy Words in mind
Connecting past with present
And to future beyond time

Appreciate your country!
Where you can worship free
Comforts thrive, we sleep in peace
We must FIGHT to remain free!

With battle, comes a mighty price
We prefer not to pay
But contemplate alternative
Lift voice, and "ONWARD", say

The evil ones can't touch our heart
Where Peace and joy abound
The plot they form against us
Our God will turn around

Remember our brave soldiers
Whose standards all should live
Who give their lives for country
What more, friend, could one give

Below, I write the last words of one of America's great heroes, whose words burned
in my mind, heart, and soul. They will echo on... and on... and on... and on....

~~~~ ECHO ~~~~

"Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be they name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory, forever........"

"NOW! - LET'S ROLL!"

ROLL!

ROLL!

ROLL!

ROLL!

ROLL!

MY WISH FOR THOSE WHO WAR AGAINST ME
____________

I wish Governments could end this war
Turn weapons to plowshares
And each land's people live in peace
Exchanging hurt for care

I wish a family could rest
Knowing loved one's safe and sound
Not warring in a distant land
With death's stench all around

Tho I was born in distant land
To God, I bow me down
I am not an infidel
God's Love, my soul surrounds

I wish, somehow, we'd understand
We all are right....and wrong
And hearts would show compassion
And we still could get along

I am not your judge, you see
And neither are you mine
We each are one on One with God
The One who rules all time

I wish that I could look at you
And know you by your name
Tho different in so many ways
In Love, we're both the same

I wish that you and I were friends
And wars would never be
I wish that Love would intercede
And melt such evil deeds

Yes, I wish that we were brothers
Of One most Holy God
And we would lend a helping hand
As we journey on this sod

Perhaps one day, before too late
You too will think like me
We'd finally know our meaning
And live in harmony.
