A Military Spouse's Prayer
A Military Spouse's Prayer ~*~ By Major James Phillips
 |
Lord, give me the greatness, and pureness of heart
That I might easily see
The difference between duty to God and Country
And my soldier's love for me
Give me extra understanding Lord
So that deep inside I'll know
When duty calls, no matter when
My soldier will pack and go
Give me tasks I pray oh Lord
That I must do each day
To help those souls less fortunate
And pass time while my soldier's away
Whether duty is on our Homeland soil
Or in a foreign land
Keep my soldier safe and warm
And in Your loving hand
And if by chance Lord
Duty requires my soldier be in the field
Please keep the angels close at hand
To be a protective shield
And lastly Lord its patience I need
When deployment becomes quite long
Please comfort me by being there
So for my soldier I will be strong
Give me the knowledge that through my faith
We'll be together again
Spending all eternity
As partners, lovers and friends
