Men of War
Teach not the little children war
Impede them not to learn my law
lest my wrath with fierceness come upon you
See innocence in confused eyes
Saddened, scared, these be deprived
and cannot fathom that which they must view
How long would last your power sought
when land and blood be brought to naught
Oh men of little faith
Consider ye the children's minds
to reinstate of love divine
lest darkness prevail at your gates
Surely all shall lose the fight
who trust alone in human might
forsaking righteousness and peace
What god speaks into your ear
to motivate unto despair
and destruction to increase
Fear, each of you, from every side
There is no place for souls to hide
not to escape the face of the Almighty
Though martyr's cries do reach my throne
they shed not blood as were their own
thus, listen to your hearts, Oh men misguided
For all upon the earth shall see
that bond and free shall bow the knee
and proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord
And if this faith men can concede
you all become the promised seed
of righteous Abraham
Wherefore then the battle's gain
If all have access to attain
who dare lift arms against his brother
Listen therefore not to deceit
Let your inheritance be meet
as to children who give honour to their mother
Oh men of war, your weapons yield
Replace with my well beloved shield
that your victory be the glory of the living God...
Galatians 3: 28-29:- There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs
according to the promise.
