Glory
copyright@2012 George Gate

I lay against a rock
Among soldiers I care
I see those two sticks of
That little drummer’s snare

Though fifer he blows not
I’m hearing his echo
No one’s talking to me
But all of them I know

We all fought together
Some just a time or two
It looks like won’t be long
Until this war is through

These guys have seen dark days
But they don’t have worries
‘Cause angels came and took them
They’re now in God’s Glory
