Over the battle fields of all the great wars since the beginning of timeHave walked perhaps the bravest heroes of them allThe men known simply by the soldiers as the ChaplainAnd this is the story of but one of the many and many thousandsWho gave his life in the service of his God and his countryThere's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boyWho fights to keep our country clean and freeSo soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joyHe'll stand by you throughout eternityAnd although army chaplain who was stopped and bent with yearsWas walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tearsHe was searching for the wounded to try to ease their painAnd for those he knew would never live to rise and fight againFor life for them was over their earthly cares were doneThey had gone to meet their Savior their battle had been wonAnd I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to placeThat each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his faceAnd I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayerWhile the tears were streamin' down his face and the wind blew through his hairAnd I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far awayAnd as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him sayThere's a star spangledThough days and month and even years have slowly drifted byAnd all we have are the mem'ries of our boys who have to dieThey're living with their Savior beyond the crystal seaIn the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity From Letras Mania
