Rock ballad in minor key about being a soldier for Christ...this song is 20 years old this year..thanks for making this song a#1 Christian Rock chart song!!
I wrote this song in the mid 90's for a Promise Keepers group that I was part of... to encourage and challege themand let them know that we are not alone in our in our spiritual warfare for ourselves and our families.
We are soldiers in the army of the Lord
Fighting battles we can’t see
We’ve been called commissioned by the Word
To tear the strongholds down and set men free
We are warriors of the Mighty One
Called to raise the standard of God’s risen Son
Although the battles rage...we call upon His name
Knowing the victory will be won...by the warriors
We’re not fighting flesh but principalities
Rulers of a dark and sinful world
We’ll overcome them if we fight them on our knees
With prayers that rise like a flag unfurled
For the warriors of the Mighty One
Called to raise the standard of God’s risen Son
Although the battles rage...we call upon His name
Knowing the victory will be won...by the warriors
Onward Christian soldiers...marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus...going on before
Raise the royal banner...lift it to the sky
Jesus our deliverer...with the victory draweth nigh
For the warriors of the Mighty One
Called to raise the standard of God’s risen Son
Although the battles rage...we’ll call upon His name
Knowing the victory will be won...by the warriors
Are you willing to put the armor on
Stand for what you know is right
Teach your children that the battle is the Lord’s
He is their sword and shield to stand against the night
As warriors of the Mighty One
Called to raise the standard of God’s risen Son
Although the battles rage...we call upon His name
Knowing the victory will be won...by the warriors
