A Soldier's Christmas

Of all the Christmas' I've had in my life
this one's the saddest for me.
Cause' you won't be here.
You're over there
to sacrifice for our country.

I thought about why
you're giving your time
to keep your brothers and sisters safe,
and if we all would give thanks
to the Lord up above,
we'd be proud that you went away.

So, for every soldier
not home for Christmas
I pray that He keeps you safe.
May the Lord bless you!
May His Light shine upon you
And I lift you up in prayer.

For every soldier
not home for Christmas,
I pray that He keeps you safe.
May the Lord bless you!
May His Light shine upon you!
And I lift you up in prayer.
