"To Engage the Enemy - Part III"

cji
4/5/99

Verse 1
********

Now the battle is over
as the scriptures decreed.

Verse 2
********

Which side were you on
in hindsight do you see?

Verse 3
********

Will it matter to you now,
in the eternities to come?

Verse 4
********

You see the New Testament
and the Old clearly state;
there will be no excuse acceptable
for every parent, or anyone.

Verse 5
********

The life towards death we have to go;
to feel the presence of the why
we are here or what we are to do;
to know with a surety life again.

Verse 6
********

Do you understand to engage the enemy
will be done by all as man and brother
will fight sister, mother and father;
and brother will fight brother in this war.

Verse 7
********

Are you just another warrior whose sword
is sold to the one with the highest price?

Verse 8
********

Or do you seek to defend honor and right,
and at no cost your virtue to sell or forget?

Verse 9
********

Are you a Saturday or Sunday warrior,
and the rest of the week you take off?

Verse 10
********

Or do you place upon you your armor
each day in the form of humble prayer;
to purity to defend and die for if asked,
if that is Heavenly Father's price?

Verse 11
********

To be a warrior is forever in this life;
just so you know whose side are you on?

Verse 12
********

For those who profess to fight not today;
are fools who provide support to others.

Verse 13
********

You left us on the battlefield many times;
in Korea, in Nam, on the St. Louis (adrift),
in England, on the shores of France.
There is blood on the fields of Gettysburg;
the hills of Vicksburg, and at Valley Forge;
and the list of places could go on of those
who sat at home involved not; caring not -
yet to get gain from the valor of others.

Verse 14
********

Don't you dare tell Father or others
of why you stayed behind or hid,
we see you hiding in bushes or trees;
on this battlefield today now as you
are ill prepared to eternally die;
for if the truth will be known -
either you are for Heavenly Father
completely to give forth your life;
or you are against Him -
and thus now will die.
