My Memorial Day Prayer
Father God,
Look down on the
Help them speak to us once and forever, again.
Imbue us with an entombed heroic patriot’s heart.
Give us the strength to give liberty a new start,
Help us find a way to invigorate new generations
Which truly do not know the glory of our nation.
Give voice to the enormity of their sacrifice.
Allow us to fully appreciate the sacrificed lives.
The freedom they bought for many survives.
Show us the truth in waving Stars and Stripes.
Please remind us that those colors never ran
While raised by our valiant warriors’ hands.
Strengthen our resolve to survive tough times too.
Bestow on us the wisdom to lean on You.
Let us not be deaf to the
Those souls are exalted and our spiritual swords.
In Your Son’s Name let us all remember
Those who served…now serve…and will serve.
Amen.
