Prayers for Our Troops by Jewel Diamond Taylor

 
 


"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind." -- Mahatma Gandhi

"War is not the answer for only love can conquer hate." -- Marvin Gaye

Join us in fervent prayers for peace and for our troops (land, air, and sea) in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and around the world. These are pictures you may never see in the papers or on the news.

"The Prayer"

I pray you'll be our eyes and watch us where we go
and help us to be wise in times when we don't know.

Let this be our prayer as we go our way.
Lead us to a place. Guide us with your Grace
to a place where we'll be safe.
I pray we'll find your light and hold it in our hearts
when stars go out each night.
Let this be our prayer when shadows fill our day
lead us to a place.
Guide us with your grace.

Give us faith so we'll be safe.
We ask that life be kind and watch us from above.

We hope each soul will find another soul to love.

Let this be our prayer.
Just like every child needs to find a place,
guide us with your grace
give us faith so we'll be safe.

Music and Lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager and David Foster
