The Reasons They are All Fighting For

 

Our liberties and freedoms are a rich, daily blessing

And our hearts should be thankful to stay,

For this country we live in and those who serve us

In the military day-after-day.

Where would we be...maybe not even free

If soldiers did not serve in their youth.

Because their willingness to defend us, possibly to death

Is for a nation which is founded on Truth.

So here lies a thank you which pales in comparison

To the gift that they give to us all.

Thank you, oh thank you, to those dressed in uniform

Who fight for the sake of the call.

Thank you is not enough to the families left behind

Who carry on without their loved ones there.

May God bless you richly with courage and grace

For those moments when life is not fair.

Thank you to the veterans, weathered and worn

Who served in wars we did not see.

Thank you for your service & all you endured

To prove that freedom isn't free.

Thank you to the soldiers who serve us right now

..pressing on through fatigue and through fear.

We pray for the presence of Christ to hover closely

And that you feel Him incredibly near.

May the gratitude we feel fuel your heart today

Whether peace time or a country at war.

God bless our military...may we pray in remembrance

Of the reasons they are all fighting for.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD...

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen."
