The Tankers Prayer

I pray Thee, Heavenly Father,
Please hear this tanker's prayer
And send an angel to me
For my tank and crew to care.

Be with us for we need
And lend a helping hand,
And carry safely our machine
Across this barren land.

Please keep our tank from running dry
When we face the foe in fight,
And place our gunner's cross hairs
On the tank that comes in sight.

'Keep our wedge nuts on and tightened
And the tension in our tracks
And be the eyes for our guards at night
When we are in the sack.'

Please keep our radios in shape
And our comms working right.
Be with us when we kneel and pray,
Ride with us day and night.

Please keep our ammo coming,
Help us ring out freedom's bell.
But above all, Heavenly Father,
See us do our duty well.

And if we fall in combat,
In the mist of morning grey,
We ask Thee, Heavenly Father,
Take the pain and sorrow away.
