Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews? Servetus? Holy cow!”) I do not disavow.   Stonewall and Lee like knights of old Fought for their native soil, The true and lovely to uphold Against the tyrant’s spoil.   (“Those vile racists broke their vow!”) I do not disavow.   Men

Peloponnesian War

I made this to get my students psyched up for our study of Thucydides. Because I'm a dorky teacher.

I was in your Omnibus IV class last year, Mr. Davis--why didn't you think of it then? I feel left out. :D

@ Andrea: The song is Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell. (It was used in the trailer for The Two Towers).

Also, I remember that either you or Cheryl were planning on going to LU. Did that ever pan out for you?
