Captain America

CAPTAIN AMERICA Who is Captain America, and where is he today? Things may have been bad years ago, we’ve heard many folks … say. Don’t know, I was a baby, and I wasn’t a boy. Never heard of him, didn’t play with super hero … toy. How wonderful have a hero., one who will always win. One who loves and upholds justice, who really does … hate sin. One who is always a constant, World, on him, can depend. One who can stand up to violence, and also be …. a friend. Captain America’s image, certainly needs, name change Captain Universe, now better, reflects a larger … range. My hero doesn’t wear a star, on his shield or his chest. When I give you his credentials, you’ll know … why he’s the best. Captain America, and He, always stood for what’s right. My hero has Scepter and Crown, true hero … day and night. He paid a ransom for our life, gave his for ours, His fame He’s not Captain America, Christ Jesus … is His name.
