The American Soldier and Jesus
(The Only Two Who Died For You and Me)

One died for our Freedom
One died to set us Free.
One died on the Battlefield
The other One hanging on a Tree.
One of them took a bullet
The other One a piercing sword.
But both of them gave their lives
And so the Story is told.

The American Soldier...
Young Women and Young Men.
Who shed their blood on the battlefield
In a war they could not win.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Shed His Blood on a Tree.
Where He conquered Death and Sin
So that we could all be Free.

Jesus Christ, The Son of God
Who arose again in three days.
Was right there beside that soldier
The day they passed away.
He took their hands and lead them
To a Place beyond the skies.
And set them up in Paradise
Where No One no longer will die.

The American Soldier and Jesus
Died for You and for Me.
One died on the Battlefield
The other One on a Tree.

God Bless America... Land that I Love
Stand Beside Her... And Guide Her
Through the Night... With the Light From Above...
