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
