I Shall Not Judge

I shall not abandon you as your body dies
but pray instead for your tortured soul
God shall judge you before the end 
your conscience burdened with battle dead
may angels guide you on your way
as you travel alone by close of day
to God who is in highest command
it is for Him to forgive not reprimand
history shall record your victory
and through the ages proclaim your name
but only God the truth be known to cleanse your soul
I pray He holds you as I hear the death bell toll.
