Newsboys:::Something Beautiful

Story:::

The Soldier stood and faced God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, just as bright as his brass.

"Step foward you Soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church, have you been true?

The Soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry guns, can't always be a saint.

I had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, because the world is awfully rough.

But I never took a penny, that mine to keep. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got to steep.

And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place, among the people here. They never wanted me around, except to claim their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had to much. But if you don't, I understand."

There was silence all around the throne, where the saints had often trod. As the soldier waited quietly, for the judgment of God.

"Step forward now, you soldier, you've borne your burden well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets. You've done your time in hell."

That shot at 1:04 reminds me of a scene in The Alamo in which a soldier, I think Billy Bob Thornton? plays violin. Best part of the movie.
