A Christian and a Solider

A Christian and a solider, they both seem the same to me
Fighting for Jesus Christ, just trying to get others to see

A battle that we just can’t let the Devil win
We must stand on the front line and fight off all the sin

Just because an army of darkness is coming our way
We must hold up our shields of faith, plant our feet and stay

For the Lord is on our side, fighting with us too
And with His help, there is nothing in this world that we can’t do

But are you a solider out on that battlefield today
When you see a fellow Christian down, do you help him up or walk away

Are you fighting for everyone’s life; their salvation
We don’t have much time, it says so in Revelation 

Is your armor nice and shiny, or is it tarnished and gray
Do you stand beside others no matter come what may

Do you flinch at gunpoint, or do you stay tall
Do you have a firm foundation, or do you fall

As Christians we have this privilege of going through this battle together
Drawing others to Him; getting to live forever 

Just remember one day we’ll stand in front or our Master, our Lord
How many times did you draw YOUR sword
