Star Spangled Heaven

Over the battle fields of all the great wars since the beginning of time

Have walked perhaps the bravest heroes of them all

The men known simply by the soldiers as the Chaplain

And this is the story of but one of the many and many thousands

Who gave his life in the service of his God and his country

There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy

Who fights to keep our country clean and free

So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy

He'll stand by you throughout eternity

And although army chaplain who was stopped and bent with years

Was walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tears

He was searching for the wounded to try to ease their pain

And for those he knew would never live to rise and fight again

For life for them was over their earthly cares were done

They had gone to meet their Saviour their battle had been won

And I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to place

That each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his face

And I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayer

While the tears were streamin' down his face and the wind blew through his hair

And I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far away

And as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him say

There's a star spangled...

Though days and month and even years have slowly drifted by

And all we have are the mem'ries of our boys who have to die

They're living with their Saviour beyond the crystal sea

In the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity
