Soldier's Prayer for His Family
He looked down at his little girl just learning
to walk
And her brother who was busy at play
He looked at his wife who smiled thru her tears
They had just found out he was being called
away
How could he face telling them all goodbye
When it came time for him to depart
His country needed him now but so did
they
He prayed earnestly straight from his heart
"Lord, please stand guard over my family for
me
For I You know that you love them even more
than I do
Like so many times I now trust in Your Love
For I have always known I could count on you"
"Lord, that little baby girl that is crawling
on the floor
And that little man playing and my wonderful
brave wife
Please take care of them while I am gone off
to war
For God You and them represent my whole
life."
"Please let this war be over soon
So I can be with them again
For now I am placing them in Your precious
hands
Thank you for listening Lord-Amen!
