Reeeeeallllyyyy awkward...

Stand next to your favorite Muslim while the whole church sings"Onward Christian Soldiers" in honor of Memorial Day.

Onward, Christian soldiers, 
marching as to war, 
with the cross of Jesus going on before. 
Christ, the royal Master, 
leads against the foe; 
forward into battle see his banners go! 


Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers, 
marching as to war, 
with the cross of Jesus going on before.


2. At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee; 
on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! 
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise; 
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise. (Refrain)


3. Like a mighty army moves the church of God; 
brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. 
We are not divided, 
all one body we, 
one in hope and doctrine, 
one in charity.



If that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, picture yourself standing in a mosque surrounded by a couple hundred devout Muslims chanting about Jihad.

And even though the graphic on the screen shows American-style soldiers lifting a cross as if they were overtaking Iwo Jima, try to remind yourself the song is about a Christian's battle against sin, and not against our political enemies.

Now, lean over and put your arm around the young girl next to you and laugh a little about how uncomfortable you would be in her shoes at the moment.
