God's Blanket of Truth

Don’t worry soldier. I am with you
every step of the way,
to comfort and to guide you
through your journey each day.

I am always here beside you
to keep you safe and warm.
Though through our many battles,
my stitches may be torn.

Each time you bow your head,
and say your prayer, you see
a new stitch is gently sewn
to mend each tattered piece.

God's winds will swiftly lift me up.
My colors stand for truth.
For I was created through Him
to proudly serve with you.

So if you feel a chilly breeze,
that grips your soul with fear.
Bow your head soldier and rest,
for I am surely near.
