President Bush may have had the artist intent wrong, I am not sure about that, but the charge he understood. It is as follows:
We have every one of us a charge to keep, an eternal God to glorify, an immortal soul to provide for, needful duty to be done, our generation to serve; and it must be our daily care to keep this charge, for it is the charge of the Lord our Master, who will shortly call us account about it, and it is our utmost peril if we neglect it. Keep it “that ye die not”; it is death, eternal death, to betray the trust that we are charged with; by the consideration of this we must be kept in awe.
Many Americans do not see the freeing of the Iraqi people as a worthy charge, but man seldom sees as God sees. Bush has been condemned by the nation that elected him. Perhaps God will not judge him as harsely.
