Mother Of The Battlefields

Mother Of The Battlefields

By Paul McCann

Mother of the battlefields

He stood like a warrior but raised no fist

He walked among us , the saviour in our midst.

He had no doubt about what he had to do

He cast out some demons and cured lepers too  .

Mother of the battlefields

In the battlefield he did not walk alone

He delivered truth with weapons of his own

and everyone who heard him knew he was right

his time had come and victory was in sight  .

Mother of the battlefields

He confronted the enemy who were scared ,

Yet in the battlefield, his mercy was shared

He was shamed and defamed by those who were wrong

Their minds were all troubled but he was so strong .

Mother of the battlefields

you believed and conceived and then you gave birth

his life was like a battlefield here on earth

you suffered in silence and then paid the cost 

of losing a son, crucified on the cross  ..
