Over his troop on
This Christmas night
The deep dark sky
Lights up very bright
As the war raged on
And our heroes had to fight.
The Soldier's mind went
Back to another place
And another time
Where there was a
Magnificent sign.
A huge bright star
Lit up the night
Sky in the East
As the Shepherds stood
Watch over their sheep.
In bethlehem there was
Great new and great joy
Of the Birth of a Savior
Christ the Lord.
News Spread over the land
Of a perfect gift sent down from God to man!
The Soldier stood praying
For his country and his family at home.
As he hears the firing of missiles in
This war torn zone
He may not be famous
Or lsiten in "Who's Who"
But he is here on a mission
With a job to do.
As a teen he accepted Salvation's plan
And if his life should
End in this foreign land
He is safe and secure in his Father's own hands.
