If I...Challenge at Colorful Creations

For the If I.. challenge over at Colorful Creations I created this page as a tribute to my son Marcus who served our country proudly as a member of Army Special Forces.

The journaling is a song by Dustin Evans

If I Die Before You Wake

Back home now I know you're prob'ly sleeping,

Over here it's the middle of the day.

I finally found some time to write a letter,

Sittin' here a half a world away.

I heard about all them folks protesting,

As if I really want this war.

But that don't stop me from believing

There's just some things worth fighting for. 

And if I die before you wake,

I pray the world will take

A good look at what God's given us.

If we could only understand

Everything is in His hands.

All we need is a little faith and trust. 

I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay

If I die before you wake. 

Tell everybody that I miss them,

and I can't wait to get back home.

Until then, I'll serve my country 

and be proud to wear this uniform.

And if I die before you wake,

I pray the world will take

A good look at what God's given us.

If we could only understand

Everything is in His hands.

All we need is a little faith and trust.

I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay

If I die before you wake.

No, it ain't too high a price to pay 

If I die before you wake.

"Everything is in His hands "
