AT WAR

February 25, 2002

By Gary N Skorheim

Home joys, music that gives us peace
and our being restored; but we are at war.
We will be at war until terror's defeated.
We are allowed to live and love peacefully
Because we are a Nation of freedom.

Our Defense Forces, Our President are warring
To keep our peace and maintain our hope
The arrows of attack in 1941 stirred our resolve.
The horrors of attack in 2001 sharpened our resolve.

Our enemies would destroy but God's favor's on us.
But the Bible reminds, "The battle belongs to God".
So it remains so long as God can recognize us
as His children who walk not away from Him.

Do we belong to God if his ten commandments
be taken from our cherished school rooms?
Do we belong to God if we misuse his name?
Do we belong to God if we mistreat our citizens?

Do we belong to God killing children being born?
Do we belong to God when His laws are declared ungodly?
Or vote people into office who let our government decay?

So let us watch and keep our homes and schools Godly,
and carefully watch what officials are doing.
We must measure and compare to the Bible we're holding.

Yes, we are at war and we are embattled,
to see whether evil or good shall prevail.
There are forces of good and forces for evil,
We who have wisdom place God in our battle
and never lose sight of the cost should we lose.

So press in for the battle, abroad and within us
for the sake of the country for the sake of the crown,
So God keep us strong and prevail in our nation
without you our power can never prevail.
In the end only this is remembered,
the battle belongs to the Lord.
