quick to load the
missiles
the quivers fully loaded
the arguments ready
ready for the fight
quick to enter battle
not backing down at all
standing in the conflict
not turning at all
nothing of this scripture
of turning the other
cheek
always armed and ready
not trusting in the Savior
not heeding His message
the example of His
choices
even going to the cross
Christ did not fight back
even when we whipped him
the Son of God Almighty
choosing to submit, to
forgive
to climb the cross to
save us
