Pray for our soldiers
Pray for our soldiers who go into harm’s way
Take time to think of them today
As we celebrate Christ the Resurrection and the Life
Think of that husband far from his wife
Think of that wife far from her husband
In your time of joy pause and for a soldier do pray
They are the protectors of the freedom we hold dear
The freedom that comes for some soldiers at the cost of their life
We pray for you in the loneliness you feel far from home
Far from the sights and sounds so familiar to you
Oceans apart from family and friends
Dealing with the culture shock of being in another country
Longing for home
Feeling like a stranger in a foreign land
Having to be always on alert for an attack of enemy fire
For those of us who have had relatives serve as soldiers
We know the sacrifice you make
We feel the pain when you are away from us
It is our hope and prayer that one day there would be no more war
No more of sending you into harm’s way
No more need for you to be away from the families you love
No longer would you see your buddy die next to you
That those who are disabled would get all the help they need
That thoughts would change towards those with PTSD
Soldier, it’s okay to cry when you feel burdens on your heart
I had a grandfather who lied about his age to enter W. W.1
At age 17 he signed up for service is the Canadian Expeditionary Force, infantry division, P.F.C. Sanford Dobson
One moment he was talking to his buddy
But his buddy did not reply
One moment alive
The next moment he was dead
My grandfather was exposed to mustard gas
Every morning for the rest of his life he coughed from developing emphysema
I saw him at the age of five barely able to breathe
I saw the sweat drip down his face
I lost my grandfather that night to his third heart attack
From that day on I have sought wherever I can
To thank a soldier
To shake their hand
Let us all take time to pray for our soldiers
To offer a prayer of our love
Father, watch over them I pray
Be their hope and with them always
Tell their hearts in ways I never could
You will always have time to hear a soldier’s prayer
