A Soldier’s Prayer

Dear Lord, I’m just a soldier

A protector of our land.

A servant called to battle

When my country takes a stand.

I pray for strength and courage

And a heart that will forgive.

For peace and understanding

In a world for all to live.

My family’s prayers are with me,

No matter where I roam.

Please listen when I’m lonely

And return me safety home.
