The Prayer

by

Carole Bayer Sager/David W. Foster

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 when we lose 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 payer

Let this be our prayer

Just like every child

Just like every child

Need to find a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe

Let us not forget the sacrifices of our armed forces, the sacrifices of their families.

May we remember them with special prayers this day.

There have been so many chaplains and Catholic priests hearing confession and saying Mass to the troops either during peace, during war, in the battle fields, in POW camps and concentration camps.

Many were tortured. Many died.

God Bless You
