I Am a Lion

I am a Lion, like my savior before me,
And I fight for the ways of love,
With power from above,
I rage for light,
I fight, one man against an army of darkness,
I feel alone so often,
But then my savior reminds me that I am never alone,
For every prayer I pray, I pray in unison with warriors around the world,
I am a Lion, like my Savior before me,
And I fight for the ways of love,
With men, and women, and children with hearts focused above,
And sometimes it seems like all is lost,
And the price that we pay isn’t worth the cost,
And then the Lion of Judah says with a shout,
“I died so that all would know love,
And I never lose,
Keep fighting, for your victory is inevitable,
I secured it long ago,
That love shall reign  and mercy shall know every soul of man,
Keep fighting, I shall heal your land.”
And then I cry tears of sorrow, and then I cry tears of pain,
But then Joy comes upon me like a torrent of rain,
I am a Lion, like my savior before me,
And he assures me that the future is bright,
So I say to all warriors, don’t give up the fight,
For the price that you pay,
It is worth it!!!
