| Our Lord in Heaven,
Guide us in our search for the men
and women who have
yet to come home from the horrors
of battle.
Help us to find the path that leads
to the prisons our heroes exist in.
Open our ears so we may hear their
cries, so we may follow those cries. Cries of fear, hopelessness
and mercy.
They did not ask for war Lord,
they were innocent children doing their duty to God and Country.
Their loved ones wait patiently
for their return. Patiently
for they know you have them wrapped
safely in your arms.
We have faith in you Lord, faith
that you will bring them home.
Use us Lord as your shepherds
to bring the flock home.
There can be no rejoicing for peace
while our men and women remain on foreign territory for they are our brethren.
We pray to you Lord above, to keep
them safe from harm's way until they are home.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
