Soldiers Prayer
Dear lord, keep me by
the arm you bear,
and direct a path through harms way.
Help me know that you're always there
guiding me by night and by day.
And lord, at moments when I'm feeling lonely
and tempted with discouragement at my post.
Help me lean mightily on you only
because it is you I depend on most.
When I long to see my family
or start thinking of times with a friend.
I'll know that you're always with them
even after absence is at an end.
Shield me as I answer duty's call,
for I have a job from which I can't depart.
Protect me from my enemy, who'd have me fall
for it is you who guards my life and heart.
