Say Goodbye

Say Goodbye
​

​

Say goodbye to Daddy, he has to go away,
​

To protect our country, God bless the USA.
​

He'll go into the desert and fight for what is good,
​

He'll stand strong for his country, just like he said he would.
​

He'll be gone for quite awhile but he'll think of you each day,
​

Tell Daddy that you love him- to keep him strong while he's away.
​

We'll pray for all the soldiers who've left their families too.
​

We'll ask the Lord to keep them safe, He'll know just what to do.
​

Jesus will hold them close to His heart as they fight for what is right,
​

And some He'll call home to Him upon this very night.
​

War is sad and angry but sometimes the only choice
​

To help the one's who've been opressed- to help give them a voice.
​

Say goodbye to Mommy, she has to go away.
​

To fight a war that's far from home, tell her that you'll pray.
​

Talk to Jesus every day- "Keep my Mommy strong."
​

"Tell her that I love her and bring her home before too long."
​

Our soldiers fighting for the peace of a nation not our own,
​

Deserve the support of the people here at home.
​

Don't let word get back to them that protests are going on.
​

let them hear of prayer and encouragement to help keep them strong.
