A Soldier He Will Be

As a soldier you will leave
No matter how much I plea
In your heart this desire has always been
Support you I must
But do not tell me to trust
In camaraderie 

My trust my son will be in the one
Whose faithfulness cannot be undone
Every day I pray
You will be returned safely some day 
Without harm in anyway
It is your destiny

As a soldier you will lead
Much hardship you will see
Guard your heart you must
In the lord you must trust
He will give you victory 
Delivering you safely home to me.
