Remembering

Remembering those who gave their lives

To share the truth, and not the lies,

Who sacrificed their lives so we

From sin and self, we would be free.

They served us well, if truth be told.

They spoke the truth, and they were bold.

They were not liked, not by the many.

They were the few, and not the plenty.

They did not care much for their lives

That they not give such sacrifice.

But love us, love God, that they did.

They told the truth. They did not fib.

Now some of them, they were the hated,

Not the admired, not highly rated.

They did not look for man’s approval,

But hoped for man’s sins, for removal.
