Dear Father, can you hear me?
As I come to You tonight…
In need of You to wipe my tears
And comfort all my fright ~
Life seems so safe for me
With four sturdy walls to call my home…
While our soldiers fight this battle
Out there on their own ~
We sit here with endless prayers
For their health and protection…
Living off the memories
Of their love and affection ~
In pictures, we see their faces
Standing proud and tall…
Full of strength and spirit
Ready to give their all ~
Oh, Father, how I ask of You
For Your angels from above…
To silently fly with them
With the presence of Your love ~
And when they feel lonely
Staring at pictures – torn, tattered, and old…
Let them find peace in the memories
Of the ones they long to hold ~
The months are many till their return
And so, until then –
I’m entrusting my soldier to You, Father
With all my love ~ Amen.
