Today is a special day
Because wars,
And rumors of war,
Never go away.
To keep a nation free
There is a price to pay.
Vigilance is required
Every night and day.
Those who would defend us
Deserve a special place.
Not just within our hearts,
But by the God of grace.
The Lord knows who is faithful,
And loyal to the cause.
He picks the times for men to live,
To come, or go, or pause.
He knows the price of suffering.
He’s seen insults and shame.
He’s the only one who sees each heart,
And knows where to place what blame.
He heard you in the battle.
He never left your side.
The memories may torment at times,
But peace; God can provide.
The grateful now surround you,
With respect that’s amplified
Each peaceful day that passes,
Each time we’re satisfied.
Receive our thankful comments,
Enjoy the little things
The smiles, the songs, the warmth, and cheer
That grateful hearts now bring.
