"Soldiers & Jesus" Lyrics by James Otto

Well granddaddy came home in a B-52
In a pine box covered in red, white, and blue
He was one of the brave and the proud and the few
21 guns helped us say goodbye
I stood there in silence trying hard not to cry
As the preacher he quoted lines written in red
And he folded his bible in a broken voice he said

There's only two people whose ever died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell bared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces
God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus

It seems like the news loves to run em both down
Whenever we need em there always around
So don't hand me a parties political views
There's left side and right side and then there's the truth

There's only two people whose ever died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell bared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces
God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus

To me there both heroes for the path that they chose
One fights for my life one fights for my soul

There's only two people whose ever died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell bared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces
God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus

Soldiers and Jesus
Well granddaddy came home in a B-52
In a pine box covered in red, white, and blue

I usually only use my own photos in my composites.
Thank you Bill Thomas for sharing with me your wonderful Memorial Day 2017 shot of the East Tennessee Veteran's Cemetery: Flags In ceremony.

They laid down their lives for me ...

"Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, the American GI and Jesus Christ. One died for your soul, and the other died for your freedom." Anon.

John 15:13 KJV

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
