It gets so dark down in the trenches
It gets so lonely in the fields
We put up our best defenses
We can't ignore what is real
I'm gonna be a soldier
I'm gonna be a soldier for love
Taking up my cross
Standing guard
My only ammunition is an open heart
Breaking down the walls
A light in the dark
I'm gonna be a soldier
See the snipers high above us
Feel our enemies surround
We fly our flag of pure forgiveness
Watch their weapons fall to the ground
I'm gonna be a soldier
I'm gonna be a soldier for love
Taking up my cross
Standing guard
My only ammunition is an open heart
Breaking down the walls
A light in the dark
I'm gonna be a soldier
Standing to attention
Waiting for your sign
Call me into action
Out on the front line
I'll be your defender
Marching in time
You are with me Jesus
You know how it feels
The finest ever soldier
To grace this battlefield
The Lord is my provider
The Bible is my shield
So when the wolf is at your door
Say "I've seen your kind before
And you can't hurt me any more"
I'm gonna be a soldier
I'm gonna be a soldier for love
Taking up my cross
Standing guard
My only ammunition is an open heart
Breaking down the walls
A light in the dark
I'm gonna be a soldier
I'm gonna be a soldier for love
Taking up my cross
Standing guard
My only ammunition is an open heart
Breaking down the walls
A light in the dark
I'm gonna be a soldier
A soldier for love |
