Having found myself, by grace of God and the uneven public education system in this country, in the heart of the Bible Belt, I hear a lot about fighting for God. I see it a lot, too.

Soldiers of Christ

We are the standing army,

Defenders of the dawn,

Even when they don't listen,

We're always pushing on.

We look up to Heaven

And know that's where we'll be

When the sinners all are burning

The way they chose to be

The way that they should be.

We know they'll always blame us,

For the Inquisition and Crusades,

But we don't even listen

We know the traps they try to lay

They'll even say the Bible

Sanctions rape and slavery

They just don't understand God's Word

is the way it ought to be.

They talk about "translation"

"Evidence" and "history"

They want to teach our children

That we evolved out of monkeys

I know they hate my country

Because they hate my God

They try to ban Him everywhere

Just 'cause they're too proud

They're killing all the babies

They're kissing all the gays

They want their "equal rights"

saying, "This is how we're made,"

I can't even pray out loud in homeroom

Or on the intercom

The football team must take the field

Without Christ to cheer them on.

In the cafeteria at lunchtime

where everyone can see

Two boys just sit there holding hands

right in front of me

I try to share the love of Christ with them

I say they'll burn forever for their sin

Unless they stop now and repent

The friend says I'm "harassing" them

She says I must not read too well,

"Isn't there something about love?"

I tell her that love isn't more important

Than God, cause in the end we'll all be judged

The ones who were believers,

And told people what was true

We'll be the ones in Heaven

Looking down on you.

You are all the liars

The sinners and their friends

You even say that "gay's okay"

You'll burn for that one in the end

The truth is always better

Even when it makes people mad

Pride makes them independent

They throw away the chance had

I wish it were the old days

When God was still in school

Girls were girls and boys were boys

People understood the rules

Back then sex and violence

Weren't right before our eyes

Back then sinners stayed quiet

We didn't have to hear their lies

Now everybody cries out

For the Muslims and the Jews

They try to say they're just like us

They believe in our God, too.

But God and I know better

Believing in Christ's the only way

To get yourself to heaven

Listen to what we say

The Muslims all are murderers

The Jews are filthy rich

The gays go after little boys

J.K. Rowling is a witch.

We are the standing army,

Defenders of the dawn,

When they don't want to listen,

We're always pushing on.

We look up to Heaven

And know that's where we'll be

When the sinners all are burning

The way they chose to be

The way they should be.

The way they ought to be

The way they will be.

Amen.
