Poetry
We are Christian soldiers
traveling through this barren land
And if we want to see Jesus
we'll have to love our fellow man
I did not write this commandment
it was already written for me
And if I say that I love the Lord
then it was meant for me to see
That the road to heaven is all mapped out
telling me in how to get there
No short cuts will work, I must obey
and I have to be just and fair
There are many cross's on this journey
that the Christians have to bear
And it takes a lot of grace to stay on it
to keep us from being ensnared
The crown we seek is laid up for us
so we must keep our lantern's lit
Unload the weights of jealousy and hate
and keep our hearts clean and fit
For this race we're in gets very slim
as we try to do what is right
And the soldier knows which weapons to use
and won't give into a fleshly fight
They will remember the words of Jesus
saying, the battle is not yours but mine
And lay down all your carnal weapons
and mark your steps and keep in time
So put on the robe of righteousness
the garment which is God's word
let it wash us each, and every day
to help keep our souls reserved
