Soldiers of Light and Love

We are soldiers of light and love
With fresh fire we fight for freedom;
Freedom from the thrones of thralldom
We strive for salvation and not stardom.

This shall forever be our anthem;
We are soldiers of light and love,
strongly persuaded that every problem
We face cannot steal our eternal diadem.

No situation can stain our saint-status
As we forge ahead with faith and focus.
We are soldiers of light and love,
Hallelujah shall be our eternal chorus

With humble hearts we cling to the cross
And there we laid down our luggage of loss,
We daily deny ourselves of delightful dross...
We are soldiers of light and love.
