So human, so real
their sacrifice complete
serving our people
that we would be free
offering their lives
reminding me of Christ
giving their all
helping us to believe
in something nobler yet
the dream that is America
the love of God revealed
in the sacrifice of Christ
called to offer our lives
to give as they have
as He did, for all of us,
that God’s kingdom would
come
down here to earth
that the age would close
peace washing over us
grace to fill our hearts
life in sacrifice
joy in servanthood
giving as they did
nobly, for us
