Love Thy Neigbour
Christians are being persecuted
how sad their life's and families being destroyed
scenes of poor souls starving in the desert
classed as worthless objects lower than an animal
my gentle mother tears in her eyes said to me
were is the faith in love in this awful world
I agreed saying your so right soldiers protecting oilfields
liquid gold the objects of greed in nations none of this is right
its our planet now I speak the voice of a christian and proud also proud
I am of the blessed cross, baptism seals fate in his holy name, I would heed the call
if called to battle, I would be proud to serve in your name Lord, hear our prayers
If and when the calling all I ask of you father
forgive me my sins because in the heart I have offended thee in the past
please kneeling before your cross guilty having sinned and taken the Lord's
name
The pope has spoken out to our world with a plea
voice of love father our understanding
this is not right bowing my head in prayer at this earth's shame
saying now what has,
anyone been doing to resolve this
as when our holy father from the rock he speaks
A situation in desperate times a crusade is what we need
soldiers will die with honor at his command we kneel servants of the Lord
to protect these innocent people
love and loving God's children make this world revolve
houses of worship have been destroyed vile acts
desecration of the holy cross grail of life and loves sanctuary
They show no compassion as they spit in our faces
these suffering children of god die for us in our sins
turning a blind eye to the truth who our redeemer is
will none of us even governments take on the sacrifice
to protect these people
innocent women and little children
To see the face of the devil himself at work
because I do
in a calling I would sacrifice my life
in our Lord's holy name
I would join the crusade in a heartbeat
to protect and I am a trained soldier rusty
Available anytime for what is right
just for the sake of peace I pray to God
that he gives the answers to the world
we should do what is morally right
as we will all answer to the Father and Son
in the end with the holy spirits
we seek his redemption at the gates of heaven
