A soldier of the cross Knows the fiery darts That try to cut through truth To wound the softened heart, The breastplate does its job Protecting bloodied faith Paid for by the One Who loves to keep it safe. A soldier of the cross Holds up steely shields Protecting the whole body The Holy Spirit seals, From enemy attack And what the scoundrel shoots: Accusing, constant lies Without an ounce of truth. A soldier of the cross Hardness often endures Draws from Who's within To rest and feel secure, For the Captain of the Army Is powerful and wise To use the enemy's war For a soldier's good and right. A soldier of the cross Exhibits ****** marks Resembling the same As the murdered Christ, The wounds become a badge Never hidden in a drawer He might lose a few battles But will never lose the war.

A soldier of the cross
A soldier of the cross Knows the fiery darts That try to cut through truth To wound the softened heart, The breastplate does its job Protecting bloodied faith Paid for by the One Who loves to keep it safe. A soldier of the cross Holds up steely shields Protecting the whole body The Holy Spirit seals, From enemy attack And what the scoundrel shoots: Accusing, constant lies Without an ounce of truth. A soldier of the cross Hardness often endures Draws from Who's within To rest and feel secure, For the Captain of the Army Is powerful and wise To use the enemy's war For a soldier's good and right. A soldier of the cross Exhibits ****** marks Resembling the same As the murdered Christ, The wounds become a badge Never hidden in a drawer He might lose a few battles But will never lose the war.
