First Sergeant Gregory Winckler drew a line in the sand.
He fought the battle homeward that his soldiers would understand.
With the First Combat Brigade team, he awaited their return,
Nobly fighting for his own life, in a lesson we should learn.
Don’t forget about the warriors as they come across the shore.
They’re a constant pride in motion of the strength we have and more.
It’s also a great reminder of what our Lord, the Savior gave.
When on Calvary He paid our penalty, He died so we’d be saved.
And just like Sergeant Winckler, who waited for their return to die,
Our Lord waits for our salvation, so we’ll be at His home on high.
This dear Sergeant battled on in pain, with his eyes focused in view.
Please know Jesus died so we’d be safe. Is He waiting now for you?
