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.
