I Shall Rise Above It All

Lord, I lost both my legs in the war Now, I come to you For love and sanctuary I shall stand up I shall stand tall and Do Gods work Let me be a soldier For the Lord and walk by faith No more honors, metals or military parades You give me this new beginning, Lord, I request battle shield and bright sword I will follow your word and compassion To fight against the Evil that dwells in the flesh of man I shall rise above it all

Soldier twice in the man, one of the flesh, one of the spirit, and with latter you never get wounded standing behind the indestructible bunker of faith. Peace and love

You have fought a good fight Gregory although your body has been attacked your spirit is strong. You now fight another battle this time always remember the devil is defeated by the cross and resurrection. You will rise with wings like eagles. God Bless. Leon
