PLEASE

Lord, please guide my shaking hand
as I try to write of soldiers in a far off land.
We've sent them to do a most difficult task
let them lean for support upon Your staff.

I hope they feel our love and admiration, too
for this stress filled job they've been given to do.
Our hearts are with them, more than I can explain
God hold them so closely until they're home once again.

They're all daddies and sons, sisters and brothers
who rely so heavily - on the strengths of each other.
We depend on those sisters and brothers, too
but rely most heavily on the love found in You.

Please lighten their loads and lessen the pace
and let them feel all the glory of Your Holy Grace.
We're so very proud of each and everyone there
we never want them to know a moment of despair.
