Memories in Fellowship

Philippians 1:3-6

I thank God for my memories of the past,
Wishing had been longer for them to last;
In every prayer making a request for joy,
Even though every soldier must deploy;
Fellowship in the Gospel while you serve,
For the cause of freedom you preserve;
Being confident and never being enticed,
Doing your best till meeting Jesus Christ.
Most of us do not think of the sacrifice,
Continuing to live in our little paradise;
Without any real worries or any cares,
Forgetting who gave up their plowshares;
Ones who trade it for a gun and a sword,
To a foreign land until peace is restored;
The concept may not be the best by far,
Alas, we are dealing with a terror war;
They take with them Christ in their heart,
And other soldiers for fellowship to impart;
We keep them in our prayers until that day,
In fellowship after returning back this way.
