When God Calls the Soldier Home

When God calls the soldier home to heaven, it is not a win for our enemy. But in that flag draped, wooden coffin lies our Father’s newest soldier-to-be. When God calls the soldier back home to him; He needed him for a higher purpose. God wouldn’t have taken them on a whim; angels were needed to keep us as His. When God calls the soldier back from the Earth, He needs soldiers for his own front line. Don’t you worry; he will give them safe berth, they will help keep the straight and narrow align. So as the final strains of Taps fades away,

When God calls the soldier home to heaven,
it is not a win for our enemy.
But in that flag draped, wooden coffin
lies our Father’s newest soldier-to-be.

When God calls the soldier back home to him;
He needed him for a higher purpose.
God wouldn’t have taken them on a whim;
angels were needed to keep us as His.

When God calls the soldier back from the Earth,
He needs soldiers for his own front line.
Don’t you worry; he will give them safe berth,
they will help keep the straight and narrow align.

So as the final strains of Taps fades away,
know God swore in a new soldier that day.
