Why War?

The Good Life

Why War?

Why are we at war?

War is a worldly recourse

Our military is hardcore 

But, hatred is an evil force

Hatred is the absence of God

For which war can not cure 

We turn to our military squad 

To make us feel secure

With the regulations of homeland security 

And with heightened border patrol 

Is this our guaranteed surety?

Or is it pretext to gain control?

God is the answer to peace 

Prayer is the cure for hate

Thru thee, war will cease

Transgression will be left at the gate 

Believe that God is omniscient 

He knows and sees all

His loving grace is sufficient 

All we have to do is call

Our soldiers lose their lives 

We must remember to pray 

For their husbands and wives 

That they have comfort each day

I11-defined is the true cause

Could it be we want all power?

Hold every round of applause 

We're under watch each hour

To love -- is God's demand 

He said to depart from evil and do good

Love thy neighbor is his command 

Why is his word so misunderstood?
