Our Prayers Are Marching On
(Sung to the tune of "Battle Hymn Of The Republic")

Let   us go be-fore like sol-diers with the ev - i -dence of prayer;
Let   us know no hes -i-ta- tion   that the love of Christ will  bare;
God's pro-tect-ing all the fu -tures for the ones we love and care;
Our  prayers are  march-ing  on!!

God  re-flame our love for Je-sus and a need from wrong to right;
Build with - in  a  burn - ing  al -ter so our child-ren need not fight;
And through-out our seek-ing mo-ments let us hold on to the light;
Our  prayers are  march-ing  on!!

Like the priests from long a-go times let us ven - ture  up  a - head;
We'll pre-pare a place of ref-uge for our troops to rest their heads;
Hold we fast to eve-ry pro-mise from the Bi - ble  we   have  read;
Our  prayers are  march-ing  on!!

Glo - ry, Glo - ry, Hal-le- lu-jah, Glo - ry, Glo - ry, Hal-le- lu-jah,
Glo - ry, Glo - ry, Hal-le- lu-jah, Our  prayers are  march-ing  on!!

This is a great song

I like the topic, and idea. You did a awsome job with this one...also, I just checked some of your other poems, and I just wanted to say that you did a great job on "stir Lord Stir"

I egarly await your next poem.

What a wonderful song, wish, and prayer for our soldiers and our nation and all the peoples of the world. I have a few friends who are waiting for the call, and it's so frightening.. but I am comforted in in the fact that He has them in His care.

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ
