Memorial Day
Today's the day we celebrate the women and the men
Who gave their lives in service to this land that we live in
Who lived and fought for freedom til at last they gave their all
In answer to the question “would they heed their nation's call?”
This nation that was founded on the principles of God
Established on the freedom in His Law we call the Rod
That demonstrates by precept how to love our fellow men
When first we love the Author Who's the Saviour from all sin
Which is the greatest battle that we all face day to day
And for which some will pay the price that Jesus came to pay
But for the lack of soldiers in the army of the Lord
Knew not the Gift God did provide that they could not afford
The Gift that's found in Jesus our Commander and our Friend
Who by His grace provides us faith to serve Him to the end
That faith that stands against the tide of evil that we face
As Satan fights against us to destroy the human race
That faith that will not slumber til the work of God is through
That's always sharp and vigilant in all we say and do
To hold up high the banner of the manger and the cross
That tells the precious story how God came to save the lost
And how He lives today and fights our battles just as well
As when He fought in heaven all the host of them that fell
And cast them out in mercy that the universe might see
The truth of fact and consequence of sin's perversity
That soon will be defeated when we hear that battle cry
And see our Lord appearing with His angels in the sky
To bring an end to evil that now rules the hearts of men
Who soon will watch in terror when our Saviour comes again
To put an end to battles with the enemy of souls
To gather all His soldiers that make up the valor rolls
Of those who would not slumber til they knew they gave their all
In answer to the question of our loving Saviour's call
To live for Him in service to our great eternal King
To fight the daily battles knowing that in everything
Our Saviour fights beside us through His Spirit to defend
The honor and the glory of His Kingdom without end
1Samuel 17:38-51; Joel 2:11-13; Matthew 6:25-34
