THINKING OF MY SOLDIER LAD"

Dedicated to the Soldiers by the Girls that are left
Behind
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
And my heart is sore and sad
For you who the mighty blue,
To fight for the STARS and Stripes so true.
Pm thinking of you my soldier lad;
No greater task you've ever had,
To be noble and 50 true
To play your part in this great drama too.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad
AS old freedom looks with praises glad
or having son in service great,
To defend our Country" and our State.
Pp thinking of you, my soldier lad
And of the pleasant times we've had
While you with songs of cheer
To drive away all my pains aud fears.
I'm thinking Of you, my soldier lad
And want to make your heart feel glad,
For at Gods mercy throne Of grace,
humbly pray for you each day.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
As you step to music and never fag,
But looking for time of peace
When all true hearts can feel that ease
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
While your very soul waves out the flag.
As The cannons and eagles soar,
And raining hail on the ground doth pour.
Pm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
For you Gods mercy is not fad,
But watching and cares for you;
That you may be one of His faithful few.
Tm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
For know thee not to be cad,
But facing bravely whatever the tide;
In Christ the Solid Rock you may hide.
Im thinking of you my soldier lad;
Now place my thought within your Jag
And know my love is true and strong;
For Id like to hear you sing another song
Pm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
Be brave and glad and look not sad,
For there's always who cares;
And prays to the Father to all fears.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
And my thodghts don't so bad,
For if we meet by means of man;
We SHALL IN the City" by, Gods right hand.
