A Soldier's Prayer

Oh Lord, when I go out to war

I must know what I’m fighting for

I’ve left my family behind, my friend

Lord, please let me see my little

ones again

Oh Lord, for freedom, justice and truth

Is everything to me

And I have peace and in this I believe that

When I go out on the battlefield

I know that life and death is for real

Oh Lord, I know while in  Afghanistan and Iraq

I might not come back

So  if I die in battle and this is a possibility too

Oh, Lord, today I make my peace with you

Take care of my family and my little ones

Remember my daughters and my sons

May I always be remembered even when I’m gone

Oh, Lord, please let my comrades make it home

Lord, when I went out to war

I knew what I was fighting for

I left my family behind, my friend

Lord, please don’t let America fall

We have come too far

 We have sacrificed it all
