Dearest God of night and day
Guard my Soldier on his way
Oh my God of day and night
Watch my Soldier in his fight
If days in battle he must see
Please let him return to me
Some may leave to without a trace
Have him return to see my face
For some the strings of life may fray
Bring him home to me to stay
He's my special candle light
The perfect star thats shining bright
He's always there to set the pace
He keeps me in that saving grace
And as I go to sleep I pray
That God will send him home to stay
In my arms to love and hold
As together our lives will mold.
