Boot Camp for Heaven

My life is boot camp for Heaven.
My death a battleground for war.
My soul the spoil for the victor;
With Him I’ll rest for evermore.

My soul will be tempted to quit.
My mind will be tempted to stray.
My body will thirst and hunger
For an easier, more peaceful way.

My wounds and scars will heal.
My body lifted when I fall.
My struggle is nothing compared
To the greatest soldier of all.

If I can make it through boot camp,
My soul will rest forevermore.
If I can make it through boot camp,
I’ll be prepared to win the war!

If I can make it through boot camp,
My mind will struggle no more.
If I can make it through boot camp,
I’ll share in the spoils of the war!

If I can make it through boot camp,
My body will never need more.
If I can make it through boot camp,
With Him I’ll rest for evermore!

My Simple Prayer
Please give me the humility to remember that I am not perfect
and the hope to know that I can improve.
