Lament for a Soldier

Sinning soldier, sanctified
Through loss of blood, loss of pride
what world draws your eyes away?
What haunts your night, robs your day?

What darkness shrouds your eyes once clear?
Who steals courage and implants fear?
Who replaced faith once strong and deep
with doubt that slowly inward creeps?

What incident has made you blind?
What lies were spoken in your mind?
What caused your Lord to be more pained
when viewed in you your torn disdain?

Are great rewards in store for you
if loneliness is what you choose?
Do you expect eternal bliss
for rejecting the Lord's free gift?

What made the chasm, rift, and scar
that separated Christ from heart?
Why could you yearn to let Him go?
Why bring into your life such woe?
