about

Christian finds that having a calling makes enemies of folks that don't see things quite the same.

lyrics

SHOW ME PEACE
Show me peace and show me light,
Let me be Christ's reflection.
keep my sword and armor bright,
A child of the resurrection.
In the army of the Prince of Peace
I shall a soldier be
And proudly bear Golgotha's Cross
In the last great victory.

If I were just a tenth as wise as Solomon the king,
if I could spread but a little hope
that magic star did bring.
If I could sing the songs that David sang
In the hills Galilee,
I know I might come to like the person that is me. 

All sin and sadness I would leave
as my heart finds new direction,
If only I could but achieve
some knowledge of perfection,
REFRAIN
Crowd turns on Christian, first gently mocking, then building to violent jeering.
If only he had Noah's trust, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! 
Like Abraham knew what was just has, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
If only he had servility and humility like Ruth,
But all he is, is Christian -
Sad seeker of the truth.
If only he had the bravery of Daniel in the Den
And if like Christ
he could only see the better side of men,
Wishes he had Samson's strength,
Wishes he had Goliath's length,
Wishes he had angels' wings,
Or but a tenth of all these things.
He's looking for a vision bright,
But all he is, is Christian -
Sad seeker of the light.

Show me peace and show me light, 
Let me be Christ's reflection.
Keep my sword and armor bright, 
A child of the resurrection,
In the army of the Prince of Peace
I shall a soldier be
And proudly bear Golgotha's Cross
At the last great victory, victory.
