Our soldiers are fighting day by day,
They fight with courage in every way.
In a strange country over there,
And each soldier doing his share.

Many homes have a vacant place,
With only a picture of a smiling face.
In their window a gold star,
Remembering a loved one lost in a war.

Our soldiers fight both day and night,
With an unknown enemy out of sight.
They feel both agony and pain,
While praying for peace once again.

Oh Lord, we pray to Thee once more,
For our soldiers fighting on a foreign shore.
We pray for their safe return home,
And pray for the loved ones that are left alone.

strife not of their making"
