Soldier
A faithful soldier I wish to be
in God's army of the cross.
With Satan, I do daily battle
often sustaining minor loss.
As I pray each day for guidance
in all God would have me do.
I feel a peace and satisfaction
when tested by fire and I come out true.
Someday, my earthly armor, I'll lay aside
battles here, shall exist no more.
I'll retire unto eternity with Jesus
to be a soldier on that golden shore.
