Fair to Compare – v4

Though they are flawed

human motives blurred in time,

maybe they are not so pure of heart

as the One who climbed the cross

But fair to compare

their sacrifice for us,

for the greater good,

not focused on themselves

So many veterans

those who chose to serve

sacrificing all for us

that we would be free

Like Christ in service,

submitting their will,

Offering their lives for us

that we would truly live
