Shall We Gather at the River

Every year for a long time, at this time of the year, some people observe Sanctity of Life Sunday. Usually it's about sermons and lessons about abortion. Back when folks started the observance it included the issues of war and capital punishment. Now that our military is heavily involved in a foreign country which we invaded, this year's Sanctity of Life observance should center around the war.

Jesus was called the Prince of Peace. Nobody called him the Prince of War.
'Nuff said. Let's all stand and sing that song we know so well:

Down By the Riverside

Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Ain't gonna study war no more.

refrain

I ain't gonna study war no more,
I ain't gonna study war no more,
Study war no more.
I ain't gonna study war no more,
I ain't gonna study war no more,
Study war no more.

Gonna stick my sword in the golden sand;
Down By the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna stick my sword in the golden sand
Down by the riverside
Gonna study war no more.

refrain

Gonna put on my long white robe;
Down By the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna put on my long white robe; Down by the riverside
Gonna study war no more.

refrain

Amen!
