Christ is my Ransom
There is no neutrality in genocide – v3
We have
become evil, drenched in blood,
our leaders silent before the betrayal
the choosing of the side of evil,
the silence on the massacre, the genocide,
the terror in their streets, relentless,
nothing random or indiscriminate,
premeditated murder, double taps,
execution of a people while we are silent,
making business deals with evil..
We have
become evil, drenched in blood,
taking off our mask of neutrality, of friendship,
choosing that which we abhor, silent,
coming up beside the murderers,
our Enemy, this people, their dictator,
aiding Cain in murdering Abel,
abandoning all pretense, lies,
our words meaningless, no ally,
becoming what we dread…
We have
become evil, drenched in blood,
choosing our enemy over their victims,
for there is no neutrality in genocide,
in this fight between good and evil,
those committing terror and their victims,
innocent blood that is being shed,
lives erased, cities destroyed, attrition,
all for the imperial lust of their dictator,
the madman in the bunker, the one we abhor…
We have become evil, drenched in blood,
taking off our mask, any pretense,
no longer failed allies but enemies,
of these innocent people, this nation,
standing against the tyranny, the terror,
screams of missiles, drones in the night,
we have chosen the murderer Cain,
over his brother Abel, these people,
fighting for freedom, survival above all else…

Justice is Mine – v2
At the end of our lives, our days,
when it is our time to cross over,
God will sit on the judgement seat,
He will sit righteous, forever,
He knows our whole lives...
"Justice is mine", He said,
to His ancient people, all people,
to all who believe, who follow,
who sit at the feet of Jesus,
all who are saved by His blood...
But there must be justice
in this life for evil, consequence,
for their crimes against Man,
for every war crime against
this good and brave people...
Justice must come, sooner,
Blood must be avenged
for the evil they have done
every drop of innocent blood
crying from their black soil...

draw nigh to God
draw nigh to God
to love Him first
turn from the world,
the way of all flesh…
incline your ear
to God’s whisper
God’s still small voice
as close as breath…
turn from the world
the way of all flesh
love God first,
in Him is our rest…
to love Him first

There will be no sleep, no rest,
there will be no forgiveness,
There will be no forgetting

Never Forget, Never Forgive – v2
There must be a time of justice
a time to avenge their dead,
the price of every war crime,
on every criminal's head...
To honor their dead, their nation,
all who have fallen, been killed,
Justice requires the mantra,
"Never forget, Never forgive"...
Too much has happened
in a decade of war, of terror,
too many war crimes, genocide,
their crimes against humanity...
Justice requires action,
to wherever Evil has retreated,
no place may be safe, a refuge,
for anyone who committed this evil...

A well of remembrance – v2
Each tragedy, each evil,
a signpost, a marker,
a talisman to hold onto,
a rain of tears gathered,
to never let go of…
Never forget, never forgive,
the enormity of their evil,
unconscionable to appease them,
each life lost, each body shattered,
each building that was destroyed,
every war crime committed…
Dipping into the well of memory,
the videotapes, the records,
each iconic image written,
seared into our consciousness,
the names of their victims…
Each one of them is a whetstone,
a talisman worked by our fingers,
from the well of remembrance
we hold each one of them,
lives that were lost, tragically,
by the fount of their evil…

a signpost, a marker,
a talisman to hold onto,
a rain of tears gathered,
to never let go of…
the enormity of their evil,
unconscionable to appease them,
each life lost, each body shattered,
each building that was destroyed,
every war crime committed…
the videotapes, the records,
each iconic image written,
seared into our consciousness,
the names of their victims…
a talisman worked by our fingers,
from the well of remembrance
we hold each one of them,
lives that were lost, tragically,
by the fount of their evil…

A well of remembrance – v2
committed by Russia and the enormity of their war crimes
across 11 years of war and genocide…
