 He got lost from his unit in the jCungle alone,

 with the Genemy on the adDvance;

 As the bullets and tracers flew Cover his head,

 he knew Gthat he didn't have a Dchance.

 He fired his rifle and Ctried to be brave,

 though his Gsenses were frightened and Dnumb;

 He lay on the ground with a Clump in his throat

 'Cause he Gknew that the end would soon Dcome.

 But Gback home a mother was Ddown on her knees

 praying, "GBe with my son, keep him Dsafe, Father, please."

 When it Gall looked so hopeless, just a Done-sided fight,

 his deEliverance flew into the Anight.

 And the Denemy CscattGered as the chopper touched Ddown

 and lifted the soldier off the hard killing Aground;

 He could feel the LORD's CpresGence in the hot jungle Dair,

Gsurrounded by Dmercy,A protected by Dprayer.

DShe had to work late, she was Churrying along,

Gtrying to get home before Ddark;

 Against her better judgement, she Cturned from her way,

 and took the Gshortcut that ran through the Dpark.

 With night falling quickly and Cno one around,

 from the Gdeep shadows there stepped a Dman;

 She noticed the cold, evil Clook in his eyes,

 then Gshe saw the knife in his Dhand.

 She Gcried out, "LORD, Jesus, I'm Done of Your own,

 send me Ghelp, LORD, you know I can't Dface this alone."

 As the Gpowers of heaven fought the Dforces of hell,

 the Eman tripped and stumbled and Afell.

 She Dwalked through the CdarkGness without worry or Dfear,

 knowing nothing could harm her 'cause her angel was Anear

 No evil could Ctouch Gher, no demon would Ddare,

Gsurrounded by Dmercy,A protected by Dprayer.

Bridge

CHe who abides in the AGlmighty's shadow shall be A♯kept

 'neath His sheltering Fwing;

CYea, though I walk through the Gvalley of the shadow,

EI will not fear anyAthing.

DHe was a good husband and the Cfather of two,

 It Gall began harmless eDnough.

 He started out trying the Cdrugs just for fun,

GThen he was hooked on the Dstuff.

 He was out on the street just a tChief and a bum,

 He was Gdirty and out of coDntrol.

 But his family wouldn’t give up. They Ccried out to God,

 and Gprayed for his lost troubled Dsoul

 Then one Gday a street preacher Dwalked up to him.

 He said “Gfriend did you know Jesus Ddied for your sins?”

 I’ve been Gsent to help you find Dsalvation’s door.

 You Ecan’t live like this any-Amore

 And the heavens were CopenGed and conviction fell Ddown.

 And he cried out for mercy as he knelt on the Aground

 When he stood up, his Csoul Gwas in the Good Shepherd’s Dcare,

Gsurrounded by Dmercy,A protected by Bmprayer.A G

GSurrounded by Dmercy,A protected by Dprayer.
