Prayer For Chaplain

Liberate our captain, Father Heal this dear man, Lord Restore this wounded warrior This fine but weary lion of a man You know the hurt, the shattered dreams You know the past, you and he alone Hold him in your prefect Father's arms Touch him where his dad fell short Soothe him with tender words Hover over his handiwork He is your child A servant of his Savior A reflection of your glory Finish your work Lord Raise up this Caleb Energize him and thrill him Surround him and support him Whisper truth to him, Abba How you are proud of him How glad yo are he was born That's he is a good son How you love him Your eyes upon him with favor That on that day In whitewashed robes he can stand Boldly before the Throne of Grace Presented to his Eternal Father Washed clean in the Blood A bride to his King A friend to his bridegroom A helpmeet to his Redeemer A lover to the Lover of his soul Bless him, Lord Raise him up, Abba In the full stature of sonship A son of the Living God! -Stephen Pursell, 12/1/03
