Our Son the Soldier
How great a man he must be
To be joined in the fight to
set another part of the world free
...
Your Freedom he fights for you to keep
So you will be safe while you sleep
You condem him for being wrong
...
Friendship is like a flower
full of faith and power
If nourishment is not right
...
My sister and brother grew up without their dad
though they wouldn't admit it, I knew it made them sad
Our mom always did the best that she could
for she knew he was out of their lives for good
...
Troubles come and troubles go
some just seem to stay and grow
A broken heart, a troubled past
...
To Mary and her Superman Cole
There he is, a little boy safe at home,
playing in the dirt or throwing the dog a bone.
...
How often do you say Thank You every day?
Do you find it awkward to express yourself that way?
Do you know what a kind thank you to someone would mean,
or is it a thank you from you is definitly unseen
...
Praise the Lord with all your heart
open up and let Him in
Praise the Lord with all your heart
seek forgiveness of your sin
...
I would walk for miles
to see one of your smiles
I would walk through rain
to see you with no pain
...
How grand would it be
to live completely happy and free
to know that tomorrow will always appear
with all who you love and hold very dear
...
He knew when he was a boy
that racing was his game
As he got better in his car
They knew he wouldn't be easy to tame
...
Have you ever looked out across the land
At all the wonders we have been given
And realized how beautiful and grand
This wonderful place we live in
...
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know of this woman who needs your help in a bad way.
I have heard she is having a bad time, and her grand-daughter is there to stay
I don't know much about her Lord, all I know is her name is Ruby Lee
she needs a bit of your strength and love
...
To my children whom God felt me worthy to give birth
I can not express to anyone enough, how much you happiness
...
When I first met you oh......how my heart did sing
I could feel the joy to my life you would bring
...
I saw the Angels come to carry you home,
that day you gained your wings to fly
...
Morning awakens a glorious day
Sunbeams showing a beautiful aray
Birds are singing their harmoniuos song
While couples are strolling lovingly along
...
Oh Holy One, Glory be thy name
You took us one by one and
made us all the same
...
Our Son
Our Son the Soldier
How great a man he must be
To be joined in the fight to
set another part of the world free
Our Son the Soldier
So very proud of you we are
To all of us who love you,
you will always be our shining star
Our Son the Soldier
So far from home and in a foreign place
Just close your eyes to
see a familiar smiling face
Our Son the Soldier
So very far away
We will all be waiting with open
arms on your coming home day
