Love thy neighbor

Christians are being persecuted they hate our beliefs how sad
walking in the desert starving
their's life's and families being destroyed
classed as worthless objects lower than an animal
they who crawl on the snakes belly
my gentle mother tears in her eyes said to me
were is the faith in love in this awful world
wisdom and peace speaks the truth voices unheard
if someone speaks in the name of love
they have been persecuted in the past proves that
there is a lot of secrecy so there is a reason for our mistrust

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 baptised in his holy name I would heed the call
if called to battle I would be proud to serve in your name

If and when the calling all I ask of you father
forgive me my sins because in the heart I have offended thee
in pasts 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
this is not right bowing my head in prayer at this earth's shame
saying now what has anyone been doing
to resolve this is 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
houses of worship have been destroyed vile acts
desecration of the holy cross grail of life and love

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

Liam always consider many have their own perception as they see the world around them. Jesus said if he were of this world he would not think like God thinks. He does the will of the father not man's will.
Until man stops listening to his ego trying to preserve that which harms himself humanity will not survive. A house divided against itself cannot stand. God so rightly said. The kingdom of Heaven is
many things to many people but it mostly is within our mind and heart. How we see ourselves vs how God sees us are two very different perceptions. God sees our holiness we may only see our
separation from him. Always are we seeking to understand our God
as we see him and we govern our lives accordingly. The question we must ask looking at the insanity of this world is this the kind of reflection and perception we see of ourselves or of the God we dance
to? Reading the book of psalms as David saw God and writing about
God's sovereignty and the beauty of the Earth and the Heavens is a place I would rather be. We today must re evaluate our own perception of ourselves and relationships with each other and our God we dance to. The chaos around us many let shape this world.
Perhaps its time we must look at the shape of our minds and hearts
and decide what kind of world we want tomorrow.
You are an intelligent man I have faith in you that you like so many others can work together to rebuild our world in a better way.
All it takes is a simple willingness to fix our minds and hearts. Until then we will continue to see the chaos.

Dear Liam,
A stunning account of the horrors of this world, all we mere mortals can do is pray for peace. If only more people were like you. It will be a hard battle, bringing peace, because we are up against Psycopaths who have no empathy what so ever. angel purple heart
