    Excerpts: Psalm 91

    1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

    2) I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

    4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

    5) Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

    6)...[N]or for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

    10) There shall no evil befall thee,...

    11) For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

    This is my prayer for J.T.

    THE MARINE

    We all came together,
    Both young and old
    To fight for our freedom,
    To stand and be bold.

    In the midst of all evil,
    We stand our ground,
    And we protect our country
    From all terror around.

    Peace and not war,
    Is what some people say.
    But I'll give my life,
    So you can live the American
    way.

    I give you the right
    To talk of your peace.
    To stand in your groups,
    And protest in our streets.

    But still I fight on,
    I don't bitch, I don't whine.
    I'm just one of the people
    Who is doing your time.

    I'm harder than nails,
    Stronger than any machine.
    I'm the immortal soldier,
    I'm a U.S. MARINE!

    So stand in my shoes,
    And leave from your home.
    Fight for the people who hate
    you,
    With the protests they've shown.
    Fight for the stranger,
    Fight for the young.
    So they all may have,
    The greatest freedom you've won.

    Fight for the sick,
    Fight for the poor
    Fight for the cripple,
    Who lives next door.

    But when your time comes,
    Do what I've done.
    For if you stand up for freedom,
    You'll stand when the fight's
    done.
