SOLDIER
Remember me in my raincoat
I didn't want to wear
I knew for certain I could bear the downpour
You said son you’re only 5 years old
I swore I would be the fine out in the cold
Wear this cape for the whole wide world to know
I could be your Soldier, be your Hero, I could be Strong
-Remember the words he spoke I didn’t want to hear them where
I knew for certain your heart would tear
You said son you’re only 10 years old
I know you don’t know the ways of the world
Where you going to go when it’s not safe here anymore?
I could be your Soldier, be your Hero, I could be Strong
CHORUS: If I had just one more day
Promise I would make it all okay
Stitch your dreams and glue your smile
Pick you up in my wings
And fly so high Your troubles couldn't be seen for miles
I promise Momma I’d make a Soldier out of me
-I swore I would be your antidote
Swallow this bitter pill for us both
You said son you’re only 15 years old
I’m getting sick and I’m about to go home
Wear your faith for the whole wide world to know
You have been my Soldier, been my Hero, you have been Strong
CHORUS: If I had just one more day
Promise I would make it all okay
Stitch your dreams and glue your smile
Pick you up in my wings And fly so high
Your troubles couldn't be seen for miles
I promise Momma
I’d make a Soldier out of me
- I won’t forget the raincoat I didn’t want to wear
I won’t forget this broken home
Cause I can built a better one of my own
You went to sleep
Before you could see
Me take up my sword And take up my shield
And start a war for us and those like us
And all that we Believed
And make a Soldier out of me
And make a Soldier out of me
Prayer for Soldiers With and Without Uniforms
To The God Who Is a Warrior
We ask that Victims become both Forgivers and Victors
We ask that Abusers become both Repenters and Restorers
We ask that the Weak are made Strong
We ask that the Strong are made Merciful
We ask that this Generation becomes the Generation of Justice
We ask that this Generation becomes the Generators of Mercy
We ask that the Pain is given a Purpose
We ask that the Bitterness is made the Fuel for a Blessing
We ask also that these Hands that these Mercenaries became Warriors
We ask that these Hands that were Shaking be Made Ready for War
“Of David. Blessed be ADONAI my Rock— who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.” Psalm 144:1
