Words to If I Die Before You Wake

IF I DIE BEFORE YOU WAKE

Back home now I know you're probably sleepin'
Over here it's the middle of the day
I finally found the time to write a letter
Sittin' here a half a world away

I heard about all them folks protestin'
As if I really want this war
But that don't stop me from believin'
There's just some things worth fightin' for

Chorus
And if I die before you wake,
I pray the world will take
A good look at what God's given us
That we could only understand,
everything is in his hands
All we need is a little faith and trust
I want you to know it ain't to high a price to pay
If I die before you wake

Tell everybody that I miss them
And I can't wait to get back home
But until then I'll serve my country
And be proud to wear this uniform

Chorus
No it ain't too high a price to pay
If I die before you wake

Prayer
Dear Lord,
There's a young man or woman far from home,
Called to serve their nation in a time of war;
Sent to defend our freedom on some distant foreign shore.
We pray you keep them safe,
We pray you keep them strong,
We pray you send them safely home
For they've been away so long.
Bless those who await their safe return
and those who mourn the lost.
Bless those who serve this Country well,
No matter what the cost.
God, Bless America and all her Heroes
