Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

I am not much of one for war stories, but I thought this was pretty good. the one thing that jumped out at me as i read it was that at least once you changed perspective from one character to another with out warning. I was a little confused at first about who had put the gun to whose neck. Besides that I didn't notice much wrong. :thumb:
