Lyrics
La Oracion Del Soldado (A Soldier's Prayer)
Verse 1
Hijo, estas cansado, Estas herido, Estas sin Paz.
Se q' peiredes la experanza Ya tan lejos de tu hogar.
Se que tienes miedo, Que no paras de rezar.
Contigo' entre mis brazos, quisiera yo que estes.
Chorus
El cielo, tu esperanza , guarda cerca a ti,
Junto a tus plegarias, Tu lianto, y to sentir
El, to acompana, El guarda tu fe
En medio do la guerra, El sufre junto a ti.
Del soldado, su oracion,
Escucha' El su sentir
Verse 2
Le pido te proteja, te guie donde estes,
Y que tu'alma libre, Del odio y la tracion
El te hace libre, para pensar y hablar
Y pese a la lucha, Su gracia El te dara.
Pido, por paz, Pido por fe
Y porque' el mundo, Se una otra vez
Pido q'el cielo, Se abra una vez,
Yq'el buen Senor, Comparta tu fe.....
Del soldado, su oracion
Su suplica excuche!
Soldier's Prayer (Originally in English)
Boy, I know you're tired,
I know you're worn, I know you're torn
I now you're losing all your hope
'Cause you're a long way from home
Boy, I know you're worried
I know you're scared.
I'd like to put my arms around you
And show you that I care.
Chorus
Hope is in the Heavens, not so far away
Close your weary eyes, he hears each word you say.
He is all around you, feel him everywhere
He's reaching down to touch you, Know he is there.
Deep in the heart of a war,
He hears a Soldier's Prayer.
Verse 2
I'm praying he'll protect you, guide you where you go.
Guard you from evils tearing at you soul
He'll give you the freedom to speak your own mind
Give you his grace that transcends all time.
Chorus
I pray for hope I pray for peace
I pray for unity between you and me
I pray the heavens will open some day and
God's loving voice will sweep down and say
Deep in the heart of a war
I hear a Soldier's Prayer.
Repeat Chorus
I pray for hope I pray for peace
I pray for unity between you and me
I pray the heavens will open some day
All of God's people will look up and say,
Deep in the heart of a war,
God heard a Soldier's Prayer.
