"Soldiers And Jesus" James Otto

"Grand-daddy came home in a B-52
In a pine box covered in red, white and blue
He was one of the brave and the proud and the few

Twenty-one guns helped us say goodbye
I stood there in silence tryin' hard not to cry
As the preacher, he quoted, lines written in red
And then he folded his bible and in a broken voice, he said

There's only two people who's every died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell

They never picked the fight, but they're there
To pick up the pieces

God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus

It seems like the news loves to run 'em both down
But whenever we need 'em, they're always around
So don't hand me a party's political views
'Cause they're a left side, a right side, and then there's the truth

There's only two people who's every died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell

They never picked the fight, but they're there
To pick up the pieces
God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus

To me, they're both heroes for the path that they chose
'Cause one fights for my life, one fights for my soul

There's only two people who's every died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell

They never picked the fight, but they're there
To pick up the pieces

God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
Soldiers and Jesus"

Matthew 9:12, Mark 2:17

God....wow...how GLORIOUS YOU ARE!!!!! You are strong, powerful, mighty, yet gentle, loving, and caring!!! YOU truly ARE GOOD!! It's been so long since I've said anything like that or even thought it...it's because I'm a sinner and take more interest in the things of the world sometimes than in the CREATOR of the UNIVERSE!!! Yet that same CREATOR loves ME SO MUCH that HE sent HIS SON, part of HIMSELF, to come and DIE FOR ME!!! HE took on the penalty for MY SINFULNESS!!! That SIN has caused me, and us as a people, to be SICK! We are sick with the disease of self-reliance, self-satisfaction, and self-worship!! And with all diseases we MUST see the DOCTOR if we even want a chance to get better....that DOCTOR os JESUS CHRIST!! "Those who are WELL don't need a DOCTOR, BUT the SICK do. Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I DIDN'T come to call the RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS." Matthew 9:12. WE are the SINNERS!!! WE are the SICK!!! HE CAME and DIED for US!!!!!
