TWO FOR TUESDAY

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

A Soldier’s Prayer
Collin Raye
I know you’re tired
I know you’re worn
I know you’re torn
You’re losing all your hope
‘Cause you’re a long way from home
Oh I know you’re worried
I know you’re scared
I’d like to put my arms around you
And tell you I care

Hope is in Heaven
Not far away
Just close your eyes
He hears what you say
Feel Him around you
He’s everywhere
Reachin’ to touch you
Know that He’s there
Deep in the heart of a war
He hears a soldier’s prayer

Ask and He’ll protect you
Guide where you go
Keep you from evil
That tears at your soul
Oh speak to the Father
Say what’s on your mind
It just takes a moment
If you’ll take the time

Hope is in Heaven
Not far away
Just close your eyes
He hears what you say
Feel Him around you
He’s everywhere
Reachin’ to touch you
Know that He’s there
Deep in the heart of war
He hears a soldier’s prayer

Let’s pray for hope
And let’s pray for peace
I pray for you and you pray for me
I’ll pray for Heaven to hear what you say
All of God’s children will find out one day
Deep in the heart of a war
God heard a soldier’s prayer

The Eleventh Commandment
Collin Raye
She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
She’s so ashamed
She’s daddy’s secret love
She wants to cry
She wants to die
But he can’t get enough

The bruises on his face will go away
Mom keeps him home from school ‘til they fade
She’s sorry he was born
And tells him so
He takes it in
He hangs his chin
He ducks another blow

Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children

He cries for hours
Cries and never stops
He shakes so hard
His little cradle rocks
He’ll never have the chance to be brand new
He’ll never walk
He’ll never talk
He’s addicted too

Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain
Thou shalt not cause thy children pain

God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children

Honor thy children
