All Is Fair in Love and War (Ode to Gordon Kahl)
guitar chords lyrics
Gordon Kahl was right
When he made his famous stand
Heaven knows there was a man
Who fought the righteous fight
Till the wrong arm of the law
Gunned him down in Arkansas
He would not pay one dime
Of tribute to the IRS
And for his disobedience
They fanned his fiery death
And now all is fair in love and war
Christian blood has been shed before
And though these tents of flesh may fail
The gates of hell shall never prevail
Because He gave his life for me
And though these tents of flesh may fail
The gates of hell shall never prevail
Because He gave his life for me
I shall not fear adversity
And we shall all meet at heavens door
`Cause all is fair in love
In love and war
Five forty-five p.m. on a North Dakota road
February eighty-three that’s when the war began
Where two Federal Marshals died, for the sake of tyranny
They both would underestimate the courage of one man
Who only shot in self-defense to save his promised land
Because all is fair in love and war
Christian blood has been shed before
And though these tents of flesh may fail
The gates of hell shall never prevail
Because He gave his life for me
I shall not fear adversity
And we shall all meet at heavens door
`Cause all is fair in love
In love and war
When all was said and done
And the verdict’s handed down
Someone had to take the fall
And it was Gordon’s son
Who was wounded in the fray
Please won’t you pray for Yorie Kahl
Who now must waste his life away
Inside some stinking jail
Please pray the Lord might set him free
Through faith we shall prevail
They say all is fair in love and war
Christian blood has been shed before
And though these tents of flesh may fail
The gates of hell shall never prevail
Because He gave his life for me
I shall not fear adversity
And we shall all meet at heavens door
`Cause all is fair in love in love and war
In love and war
