It Must Proceed

It Must Proceed
(Jacob R. McGowen)

1st Verse:
It was a day in September
One we would never forget
When a fighter and a father
Was killed in an instant

Pre-Chorus:
He never was a man to hate but
Fought for God, country, and love
And as a nation mourned his loss
They turned to God up above

Chorus:
He always stood for Christ
In all of his words and deeds
His life it may be done
But his cause it must proceed

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

2nd Verse:
Simply standing for Jesus
Can quickly shorten your days
To even have an opinion
Could cost your life and everything

Pre-Chorus:
But we were promised in the Scriptures
That dark and hard times would come
Yet, we won’t scatter or cower
Like Charlie, we will never give up

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

Bridge:
The enemy he loves to end the lives of
The children of the one true living God
But he will never win his fight against us
If we live for Jesus and fight for those we love

Outro:
Charlie, he stood for Christ
In all of his words and deeds
His life on Earth is done
But his cause it must proceed
Charlie, he stood for Christ
In all of his words and deeds
His life on Earth is done
But his cause it must proceed
