[Musical Arrangement: Ted Kirkpatrick All instruments played by Ted Kirkpatrick]



Between the years of 1861-1865, 

over 620,000 Americans died from gunshot,

disease or sickness 

in the bloodiest battles of our nations history -

the Civil War.



Through the instrument of prejudice, 

fear and hate, 

a different battle rages on to this day. 



But in Christ, we are all one people -

united in our commitment to God and each other - 

because it is He who First loved us...
