Just One Word




With just one word she gave her life,
And showed us all her faith.
She gave the world a lesson,
In how to show our strength.


When the worlds dear Cassie,
Had decided so say “Yes”,
She made our country realize,
Just what God means to us.


Her Christian life was not clear cut,
But had grown in the past two years.
With her parents help she changed;


She turned from Satan,
And gave up her old friends.
She moved away then started new,
And gave her heart to God.


Then on that fateful day,
When gunshots shook the world.
They asked if she believed in God,
With a gun pointed at her head.


She took a breath,
And though for just a second.
Then gave her life with just one word,
Said so loud and clear.


She may have felt much fear,
But we’re sure she felt no pain,
As the angles came to take
God’s martyr away.
