Memorial Day 5-30-22

On this Memorial Day I would like to share the lyrics of a song by Twila Paris. This song, “What Did He Die For”, says it all about God and Country. Following are the lyrics…..

He was 21 in 1944./ He was hope, and he was courage on a lonely shore./ Simply remind his mother, with love beyond her tears./ Just a young American who chose to rise above his fears./ And as I watch him struggle up that hill without a thought of turning back./ I can not help but wonder./ What did he die for, when he died for you and me./ Made the sacrifice so that we could all be free./ I believe we will answer each to heaven./ For the way we spend a priceless liberty./ Look inside and ask the question what did he die for?/ When he died for me./ To the darkest day in A.D. 33./ Came the mercy and compassion of eternity./ Sent there by a Father with love beyond His tears./ Blameless One, the only Son ./ to bear the guilt of all these years./ And as I watch Him struggle up that hill./ Without a thought of turning back./ I cannot help but wonder what did He die for?/ When He died for you and me./ Made the sacrifice./ So that we could all be free./ I believe we will answer each to heaven./ For the way we spend a priceless liberty./ Look inside and ask the question./ What did he die for?/ He died for freedom./ He died for love./ And all the things we do not pay Him back./ Could never be enough./ What did He die for?/ When He died for you and me./ Made the sacrifice./ So that we could all be free./ I believe we will answer each to heaven./ For the way we spend a priceless liberty./ Look inside and ask the question./ What did he die for?/ When He died for me.

God Bless America! Take care and stay safe this week.
