Give them a vision Lord
A sight to see beyond
Past all the suffering and
pain
To see the path to walk upon.
Give them sight to see within
the dust
The beauty of Your way,
A special miracle from
Yourself
Of sweet courage to
face another day.
Give them of Your warmth Lord
In the darkness of the night,
Fill their hearts with Your
glowing love
So they can see Your light.
Give them Your ears Lord
To hear above the shrapnel
shrill,
What Your soul is whispering
The tolling of Your joyous
bell.
Give them a cooling touch of
Your peace Lord
As they face the searing heat,
Thirsting in the dry
barrenness
For You their desperate need.
Give them Your gentle hands
Lord
Touching each heart with soft
comfort,
So they may keep on caring
And know the battle that is
fought.
Give them Your strength Lord
To wake every dawn to walk
Your way,
May they know our support and
Your power
Holding them close every new
day.
And if You should take them on
home Lord
Then we know You'll love them
there,
Heal every memory that hurts
them sore
Wherever they are, they're in
Your perfect care.
