This Marine's Desire
I think I knew before,
Even before the Marine Corps,
Where my heart is at,
And there is no debate of that.
Soldiering and the military,
I would agree definitely,
Is honorable and all,
But to me that's not all.
In Iraq I serve,
I beg to test my nerve,
Asked my Staff Sergeant,
For dangers with insurgent.
Even in Iraq it seem,
To serve twenty years in this team,
Is something I would like,
But in reality never might.
I love being a Marine,
I hold my flag in high esteem.
But to serve the Lord as a pastor,
Is the delight of loving my Master.
So someday when Iraq is over for me,
When explosions don't greet me daily,
And no more heavy packs on my shoulder,
May God grant that I'd be a pastor.
