MIGHT IS RIGHT?
by Bill Kochman

They claim that might is right,
If you’re an enemy take heed,
But if we embrace the Gospel,
We adhere to a different creed.
Peace thru strength we’re told,
Is what keeps the evil at bay,
Yet Jesus set down His code,
And taught us another way.
Although we are in this world,
All its wars are not our own,
We must trust God to keep us,
And claim His protection alone.
Violence is not for a Christian,
Leave it to the children of men,
Seek peace in all your ways,
And God will bless you then.
No, don’t engage in their wars,
Hold to the Gospel of peace,
Perhaps after so much dying,
All violence will finally cease.
