A Prayer For Our Troops

Never Mind the Cost

There's a young man far from home,

Called in time of war;

Sent to defend our freedom

On some distant foreign shore.

On some distant foreign shore.

We pray You keep him safe,

We pray You keep him strong,

We pray You send him safely home ...

For he's been away so long.

There's a young woman far from home,

Serving U.S.A. with pride.

Her every step is strong and sure,

Courage in every stride.

Courage in every stride.

We pray You keep her safe,

We pray You keep her strong,

We pray You send her safely home ...

For she's been away too long.

Bless those who wait their safe return.

Bless those who mourn the lost.

Bless those who serve this country well,

Never mind the cost.

God, Bless America!
