A challenge was put before us on the day the terrorists came,
and it doesn't change a thing  for us to find someone to blame....

Even God has put before us to always stand for what is right,
and we have come to realize  this sometimes means that we must fight.

We stand tall in this great country to uphold our faith in God...
and to gladly give the glory, where so many feet have trod.

We must realize he's with us on whatever road we take,
if we but ask his guidance he will victors of us make.

He can use us in for his glory as we stand to show the world,
that we can fight against Satan, no matter what he's hurled.

The obstacles in our path will be so strongly rolled away,
and we will be united with our loved ones some sweet day.

Praise God for all the souls who will proudly stand and say
We give to God the glory as we defend ourselves this way.

So we uphold each other in prayer and glorious praise,
and we trust that God will brightly shine a light along the way.

The world is now watching, to see what we will say,
and we must go forth proudly to defend what God has made.

So with prayer and supplication we send our troops to war,
and we must never loose sight of what all of this is for.

For our children's children's children will reap what we have sown,
and we pray for his great mercy when he finally calls us home.

And for all who do not make it, and for all who come back here,
we know that God is catching each silently falling tear....

God bless our troops
