Prayer for Veterans
(Send as an http://www.alighthouse.com/vetdayprayer2.html )
A prayer solemn
We offer today;
It is for Veterans
We now pray.
Selfless, valiant,
Risking death gallantly:
Soldiers do all this
To ensure we are free.
So many have died
There on the battleground;
No music then to comfort,
Simply gun blasts all around.
So many names and faces
That I will never know,
So many stories of bravery
In warring winds did blow.
Grateful am I to these
Men and Women brave,
To think of all they did,
All they risked, all they gave.
Extend this heartfelt prayer
I will, to reach their ears;
How treasured they are to me,
Marching onward despite fears.
And those who have passed,
May God bless them lavishly –
These very ones who died
So that we would live free.
In the stories of Veterans
We see a shadow of the Cross:
Christ died to set us free,
Our gain was through His loss.
Gratefully we praise these heroes
Often silent and unknown,
And we remember Christ’s blood
From which eternal life has grown.
