AS I FORGE

Roberta Pollerana: As I Forge As I forge through the valley of death
I will fear no evil
For my God is with me

As I forge through the waters of a maelstrom
I will fear no evil
For I know wherefrom I come

As I forge through nomads heated desert land
I will pray for us all; As long as we must stay
For I know freedom is not free
More blood my medic shouts above me he stands

As I forge through
The hate
The bitterness
The sadness of it all
I will fear not the politics of spoliations
For my life is given as a sworn oath

As I forge through blistering desolated terrain
I will fear not the suicide bombers or IED’s
For in my heart lives Christ my Lord
He has risen; He is the victory over war

As I forge through the waters of a maelstrom
I will fear no evil
For my God is with me

Psalms 35:1
Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me.
Fight against those who fight against me.
