Fair to Compare – v3

Fair to compare our veterans to Jesus

though they are flawed

human motives blurred

maybe not so pure of heart

as the One who climbed the cross

But fair to compare

a sacrifice for us

for the greater good

not focused on themselves

that we would be free

So many veterans

those who chose to serve

carrying our burden

Sacrificing all for us

that we would be free

Like Christ in service

submitting their will

for a greater purpose

Offering their lives for us

that we would truly live
