Soldier

Dear Lord,

                       You are the reason now for everything I do,
               Because You are the reason I choose to see life through.

              All the hopes and dreams I have are hinged upon my Faith,
          That You will keep Your promises through Your abounding Grace.

                          I know you are real, and great and true,
                                     I am answering Your call.

                  I know of Your great love for me, what I don't know is
                                                       Why...

                  For I never sought to please You God; I didn't even try.

             Those days are gone, You have changed my heart, and now
                                                  I understand.
                So now I won't waste this life no more, I place it in Your
                                                         Hands.

                No matter what You call me for, Your words I will obey,
                 With confidence You will smile upon this Soldier that,
                                              YOU HAVE MADE...

                                                                                                    2-23-06
