On 4/12/2002 U.S. Marines had just captured Saddam Hussein's Palace. On the lawn of the palace Lance Corporal Jeff Guthrie gave his life to Jesus with tears streaming down his face. Lt Carey Cash, a chaplain with his battalion, baptized him the next day in Saddam's Palace.
Over in Baghdad, Iraq Stood one trembling Marine He had conquered in battle But now knew Jesus redeems In that palace of oppression Guthrie made his confession Tears streamed down his muddy face His wandering heart made clean
Marines stormed these palace gates
In this intense act of war
In spite of the victory
Jeff Guthrie desired more
Here where evil was devised
Guthrie chose to be baptized
In this house of tyranny
God would perform so much more
