Please Pray For Our Troops!

I look back on my little sisters school's Veteran's Day program and it still brings tears to my eyes. A man I grew up with at my church was the speaker, he gave stories of his tours in Iraq and of the men he served with, many of which died while there! He told us of their courage and loyalty to our country! I'm so thankful to all of the men and woman, past and present who serve in our military! Everyday should be a Veteran's Day. Get out your tissues!! I only wish you could hear the choir sing it!

Here are the lyrics to the song they sang that day about our American Flag: (its on my playlist at the bottom of this blog)

There She Stands- Michael W. Smith

When the night
Seems to say
All hope is lost
Gone away
But I know
I'm not alone
By the light
She stands

There she waves
Faithful friend
Shimmering stars
Westward wind
Show the way
Carry me
To the place
She stands

Just when you think it might be over
Just when you think the fight is gone
Someone will risk his life to raise her
There she stands

There she flies
Clear blue skies
Reminds us with red
Of those that died
Washed in white
By the brave
In their strength
She stands

When evil calls itself a martyr
When all your hopes come crashing down
Someone will pull her from the rubble
There she stands

We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all the fools have fallen
There she stands

By the dawn's
Early light
And through the fight
She stands
