Was on a Sunday morning,
a Yankee squad on patrol.
Came upon a little church,
sat on a lonely knoll.
They cautiously approached there,
the house of the Lord.
hearing the sounds of singers,
that sang not all in chord.
Upon that they entered,
to find unarmed Rebels there.
Led in hymn and gospel,
a preacher with them share.
“Come in and join us brothers,
sing and praise the Lord”.
“Find only joy and salvation,
not rifle, bayonet or sword”.
So there on an Easter morning,
two sides so bent on war.
Met in peace and understanding,
shared worship at God’s open door.
