A Soldiers Prayer

Verse 1

From his camouflaged jacket he pulled out a letter
From the one who he promised for worse or for better
Though he read all those word a hundred times before
The tears still filled his eyes this time, even more
She?d written honey I love you, and I wish you were hear
The kids are all fine, but for your safety they fear
Then he folded the letter carefully put it away
Then he fell down on his knees said Lord I?ve somethin? to say

Chorus 1
Hear this soldier?s prayer, while I can?t be there
Take care of my family
My wife and children are so precious to me
Hear this soldier?s prayer, if I might be so dare
Let the victories be yours that are won
Let our enemies know your Son
Let the whole world finally see
And by the way, watch over me.

Verse 2
The weeks turned to months it?s been almost a year
She prays every day for her husband so dear
But why he has to be there she can?t understand
Why the world can?t get along and face things man to man
She learned in church, just yesterday
God will take care, come what may
As the tears rolled down across her trusting face
A little voice behind her said, Mom let?s pray

Chorus 2
Hear my soldier?s prayer, while I can?t be there
Take care of our family
My Mom and Dad they are so precious to me
Hear my soldier?s prayer, if I might be so dare
Let the victories be yours that are won
Let our enemies know your Son
Let the whole world finally see
And by the way, bring Daddy home to me.
