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.
