WORDS TO LIVE BY
Thanks T.A. for the inspiration.
"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us
But take away our pride."
(G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal)

Clarkie,
GK wrote the lyrics to the hymn that would be sung by thousands of screaming Iron Maiden fans at concerts all over the world. They used it as an intro to "Revelations". While down here last week, Jackson picked up an awesome IM DVD that we watched late into the night out in the pavillion. GK would have been impressed by how popular, and prophetic I might add, his little hymn became.
