I have never spoken to You, but now I want to say,
"How do You do God", they told me You did not exist.
And, like a fool, I believed all of this.
Last night from a shell hole I saw Your sky.
I figured right then they had told me a lie.
Had I taken the time to look upon your creation,
I would have known then, we live in a great nation.
I wonder, God, if You would shake my hand.
Somehow, I feel that You will understand.
Strange, I had to come to this hellish place
Before I had time to see...Your face.
Well, I guess there isn't much more to say,
But I am sure glad, God, I met You today.
I guess the zero hour will soon be here,
But I am not afraid since I know You are near.
The signal just came, God, I will have to go,
I love you lots, this I want You to know.
Looks like this will be a horrible fight,
Who knows, I may come to Your house tonight.
Though I wasn't friendly with You before,
I wonder, God, if You would wait at the door.
Look, I am crying, me shedding tears!
I wish I had known You these many years.
Well, I will have to go now God...goodbye for now.
Strange, since I met You, I am not afraid to die.
