Tom Wright Poet Lyric

Sacrifice

Sacrifice
By: Tom Wright
2/4/03

A war in Iraq
soon we may see rage,
As we reflect
is the apocalypse growing nigh?
In history
we advance toward our last page,
While bent in prayer,
few eyes remain dry.

For sons and daughters
we'll lament,
Praying for men and women
who gallantly serve.
Each volunteered,
for country, to do their stint,
Lord, grant America mercy,
not what we deserve.

During prior times in history
a way of life was saved,
By the sacrifice of others,
crimson flood.
That, liberty oft taken for granted,
not be enslaved,
It's inauguration, at the cross,
with Jesus' precious blood.
