For Those Who Serve

We ask you, dear Lord

to hold our men and women

in you loving hands

As they travel far from home,

keep them safe in other lands.

They are admired, cherished

and loved, we respectfully say.

Their families, giving and enduring,

so we can live the American way.

We bow our heads,

honor them in prayer,

and ask that You keep them,

Lord, in Your divine care.

For the gift of freedom

is ours today, thanks to

these brave Americans.
