Lyrics
THE LORD’S SOLDIER
VERSE ONE (Richard):
O beautiful Saviour, You went through it all just for me.
You gave Your life, Lord, on the cross; I’m here to give You mine.
Oh Lord, You choose Your soldiers from every area and walk of life.
Check my heart and examine me, Lord; here is my heart.
Jesus, You're my strength, my hope, my life, my all.
You're my master; You're my guide, my light in the dark.
There's none like You, Lord. It's proven beyond doubt.
You're one of a kind, You're the only one, Lord, I adore.
CHORUS:
Yes, I will march.
I will march for the Lord; I’ll give my life for the Lord.
I’ll shout for the Lord; I’ll give my all to the King of kings.
We’ll march for the Lord; we’ll give our lives for the Lord.
We’ll shout for the Lord; we’ll give our all to the Prince of peace.(2x)
VERSE TWO: (John):
Will you join the ranks of the few?
For narrow is the way that leads to life,
And few there are that find it.
Wide is the way that leads to destruction,
And there are many that go that way.
But narrow is the gate, and Jesus is the keeper,
Jesus is the way to life, and it’s only through Him.
Come, be the Lord’s Soldier. *Chorus*
