Soldier's march

I refuse to fall short of the prize
I will reign with Thee, no man nor beast
Will break my spirit

Faith keeps me grounded!

How does a man succeed in life with no guidance?
Nor opportunity, no love or encouragement?

Faith keeps me grounded!

For every time I’m beaten down
the Holy Spirit picks me right back up
Some say loser! I say winner!
I refuse to lose

Faith keeps me grounded!

I stand as a soldier for God
I put on my helmet of salvation
I strap on my girdle of truth
I tie my shoes of peace
I wear my breastplate of righteousness
I hold tight to my shield of faith
& I speak with the sword of the spirit

Faith keeps me grounded!

When He comes like a thief in the night
I will be alert, wide awake, & ready
To fight the good fight

Jesus strengthens me with ultimate might
Courage to fight
Faith for sight
Jesus guides me with His everlasting light
The mentality of a knight
Spirit of right
And God holds me tight

Faith keeps me grounded!
