With this being the weekend of which Remembrance Day occurred, I thought it would be good to share some music with you, again. Music regarding soldiers.
It is by Roland Majeau and is entitled, Soldiers Cry. Here is a link for you to listen and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ7z_eANAP4 . The lyrics are below.
Soldiers Cry
Talk of trouble is sent through the country
And we need an army
To fight for the right
Young men enlist and are sent to the battle
To fight the offender and help our allies
And the young men cry Oh Canada
Well gladly go and fight for thee
And the young men cry Oh Canada
Well fight to keep you free
The battles raging
Gun fire is blazing
A tired young soldier is clinging to life
He's ordered off
And obeys by advancing
No hope of returning from the enemy fire
And the soldier cries Oh Canada
If it must be so, I'll die for thee
And the soldier cries Oh Canada
I'll die to keep you free
And we all miss Oh Canada
The land where we all used to be
And we all long for Canada
The true north
strong and free
And the soldier cries Oh Canada
If it must be so, I'll die for thee
And the soldier cries Oh Canada
I'll die to keep you free
Far away we had seen a great danger
And yet there's a danger much greater within
The noise we make as we constantly bicker
Would hush not a whisper if we listen to him
All the thousands cry Oh Canada
Is that why we have died for thee?
And the soldiers cry Oh Canada
We died to keep you free
And the soldier cries oh Canada
Be true
And strong
For me
I must admit, when I first heard this music, it brought tears to my eyes.
No, it didn't make me sad. It made me happy. It touched my heart.
After all, we've had soldiers from Canada... and from all over the world who have done what they could to protect us and give us freedom.
Like I've said in the past, my parents were both in our Canadian Army, during WW2... and did what they could for us.
My brother also was in our Canadian Army. Not during a war, but he would have done what was needed, had a war taken place, at that time.
For this, I praise God.
Thinking of soldiers made me think of 2 Timothy 2:3, "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
Yes, you endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Of course, our Bible verse doesn't truly relate to our military soldiers. It relates to each and every one of us, who are working for Jesus Christ.
While we may not have fought during a war, to continue with our protection and/or freedom, we need to focus on Jesus Christ.
He's our Saviour. And, we are His soldiers.
For this, I will always do what I can for Him. Always.
Until next time...
