TWO HAVE OFFERED ALL

TWO HAVE OFFERED ALL.
Jesus and the Soldier.

I will sleep tonight, without any fear
with the thoughts of Christmas soon being here.

You’ll try to sleep knowing danger is near,
I owe you my freedom, to me that’s clear.

I wish you the best a Christmas can bring
and if I could, I would give anything.

This prayer to God, I fervently cling,
Oh Lord, end this war, let liberty ring.

Watch over our Soldiers both day and night,
please guide them safely with Your shining light.

Lead them on a safe path with Your star bright,
‘til they once more have family in sight.

These words to God are the best I can do,
I have thought them out carefully for you.

This is for all, who serve our country too,
With these words I'm sending a true thank you.
