    Verse 1
    He got 
    lost 
    from 
    his unit 
    in the 
    jungle 
    alone 

    With the 
    enemy 
    on 
    the 
    ad
    vance 

    As 
    the bullets 
    & tracers 
    flew 
    over 
    his head 

    He 
    knew that 
    he 
    didn't 

    have 
    chance 

    He fired 
    his 
    rifle 
    & tried 
    to be 
    brave 

    Though his 
    senses 

    were frightened 
    & numb 

    He 
    lay on 
    the ground 
    with a 

    lump 
    in his 
    throat 

    Cause 
    he 
    knew that 
    the 
    end 

    would 
    soon 
    come 

    Verse 2
    But 
    back home 
    mother 
    was 

    down 
    on 
    her knees 

    Prayin 
    be with 
    my 
    son 
    keep 

    him safe 
    Father 
    please 

    When it 
    all 
    looked so 
    hopeless 

    just 
    a one- sided 
    fight 

    His 
    deliverence flew 
    into 
    the 
    night 

    And the 
    enemy 
    scattered 

    As the 
    chopper 
    touched 
    down 

    And lifted 
    the soldier 

    Off the 
    hard 
    killin 
    ground 

    He could 
    feel 
    the Lord's 
    presence 

    In the 
    hot 
    jungle 
    air 

    Surround 
    by 
    mercy

    Verse 3
    She 
    had 
    to work 
    late 

    she was 
    hurryin 
    along 

    Try
    in 
    to get 
    home 
    before 
    dark 

    Against 
    her 
    better 
    judgement 
    she 

    turned 
    from her 
    way 

    And took the 
    shortcut 
    that ran 

    thru 
    the 
    park 

    With night 
    falling 
    quickly 

    & no 
    one 
    around 

    From the 
    deep shadows 

    there 
    stepped 
    man 

    She 
    noticed 
    the cold 
    evil 
    look 
    in his 
    eye 

    & she 
    saw 
    the knife 
    in his 
    hand 

    She 
    cried 
    out 
    Lord 
    Jesus 

    I'm 
    one 
    of 
    your own 

    Send 
    me 
    help 
    Lord 
    you 
    know 

    I can
    't face 
    this 
    alone 

    As the 
    powers 
    of Heaven 

    fought the 
    forces 
    of Hell 

    The 
    man 
    tripped 
    & stumbled 
    & fell 

    She 
    walked 
    thru 
    the 
    darkness 

    without 
    worry 
    or fear 

    Knowin 
    nothin 
    could 
    harm 
    her 

    cause her 
    angel 
    was 
    near 

    No 
    evil 
    could touch 
    her 

    No 
    demon 
    would 
    dare 

    Surrounded 
    by 
    mercy 

    Protected 
    by 
    prayer 

    Verse 4
    He 
    who 
    abides 
    in 
    the 

    Almighty's 
    shadow 

    Shall 
    be 
    kept 
    neath his 
    sheltering 
    wings 

    Ye tho 
    walk 
    thru 
    the val
    ley 
    of 
    shadow 

    I will 
    not 
    fear 
    any
    thing 

    Verse 5
    He 
    was 
    a good 
    husband 

    & a 
    father 
    of two 

    It 
    all 
    began 
    harmless 
    enough 

    He started 
    out tryin 
    the drug

    s just 
    for fun 

    Then he 
    was 
    hooked 
    on

    He was 
    out 
    on 
    the street

    a thief 
    & a bitch 

    He was 
    dirty

    But his 
    family 
    wouldn't 
    give 
    up 

    They cried 
    out 
    to God 

    And 
    prayed 
    for his 
    lost 
    troubled 
    soul

    Then 
    one 
    day

    He

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
