God of ages God of the ageless
Hear me calling you
You put him through his paces 

God of ages God of the ageless
Gave him the strength to brave 
The pain of all the changes

There he lay in a ditch wet and cold on an open field
With deadly pain praying for a chance to love again

God of ages God of the ageless
Hear me calling you
You put him through his paces 

God of ages God of the ageless
Gave him the strength to brave
The pain of all the changes

All alone he prayed…

Distant star oh God of life save these men end this fight  
End their pain and send them home to live and love again

She travelled far from Western shore
A simple trip on a whim to have a look maybe more
What lay ahead she questioned yet venturing
You never know unless you look turn the page write the thing

Took a flat close by in Guildford town
Talking to home on the telephone calculating dollars to British pounds
It’s peaceful here she said, I had a dream…
I’m feeling calm I met a boy you would all love to meet 

In trenched they walked silent and saw the stain
Carved his name in every ledger of the maddening time back then 
Peter, Son of Daniel she cried with him
With pen in hand she wrote beside his name a number…#318
