Nine No Longer Here
Nine No Longer Here
Nine are no longer here on Independence Day
And about those dead what should we say?
Carolina people collected memories and thoughts
About those in Church and the ringing shots.
Instead of forgiving should start to condemn
And wish the worst would happen to him
What could this accomplish for you and me?
Should set perfect example so world can see.
God has forgiveness in his very nature
He is even just like that of his nomenclature
Loves cute puppies which do become a dog
His name spelled backwards and friendly frog.
Son died on logs and from them could not leap
For all of humanity then Father did weep
Regardless of what all we may have done
Still was willing to give us His own Son.
Although many hearts have been breaking
God is the only one who can be taking
All souls to heaven to with Him soon be
And from all sins finally set us free.
