Background song is "Call to the Post"
Not Always a Saint
The soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, young soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
" No, Lord, I guess I ain't because those of us
Who carry guns can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at time my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help.
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand,
I've never espected or had to much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saint's had often trod
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgements of God.
"Step forward now young soldier,
You've borne your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
