    Default help identifying lyrics

    I heard a song a couple months ago with the following lyrics
    Please remember me, Tell my children that I love them. Please remember me, And all that I died for. Say you'll know my face When the roll is called up yonder, Please remember me When we're shipping back to shore. Could anyone tell me where I can find a copy of this song? Thanks.

    I've seen it listed as "Soldier's Prayer", "A Soldier's Prayer", "The Soldier's Prayer". It's a hymn and several artists/choirs/groups perform it. While I continue to look, I'm finding as many differing lyrics as I did titles. I guess this hasn't been very helpful; I'll keep trying.



    Soldier's Prayer


    His feet had barely hit the ground
    When he knew he was in trouble
    With his band of brothers
    He was there to save the world
    Looking up at that mountain
    He cried, father please forgive me
    And as the metal started hitting flesh
    A soldiers prayer was heard

    Please remember me
    Tell my children that I love them
    Please remember me
    And all that I died for
    Say you'll know my face
    When the roll is called up yonder
    Please remember me
    When we're shipping back to shore

    His feet had barely hit the ground
    When he knew he was in trouble
    And with his band of brothers
    He was there to save the world
    Looking down from that cross
    He cried, Father please forgive them
    When the metal started hitting flesh
    A soldiers prayer was heard

    Please remember me
    Tell my children that I love them
    Please remember me
    And all that I died for
    Say you'll know my face
    When the roll is called up yonder
    Please remember me
    When we're shipping back to shore
