Reminding me of Christ – v4

So human, so real

their sacrifice complete

serving our nation

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
