War on Terror

Who gave purpose to chance?
Daily a symphony for you I hope my life brings.
Get on your feet!
Fight the battle that wages war upon you
Fear Not!
Why should we not expect the same treatment as you received
a king, The King - how much better are we?
So we sit back and live out or lives, waiting for something big.

Our bones tingle and our senses love stories...
Wars being waged and the one with much gift prevails!
So I sit in this library of knowledge
Telling me everything I know, and nothing I don’t

How much will any of this mean centuries from now?
We cry out like a violin under pressure, and crack.
Much like a violin - we are fragile people
We get attached to people and to things,
To anyone who will listen.

About 1 billion
That is the number of Muslims that need us!
Why as an Arab war - men give their lives for their God
How sad are we!?
O Blessed nation of God - whose men hide behind excuses to get involved
Shallow we are and easily tempted.

We have great expectations
Why cant we live up to them?
Don't gain the world and lose your soul,
Rather give and live your life in service for others.
Live with a passion for Jesus.
Is it in you?
