The Voice of Praise ‎#131

131. Am I A Soldier of the Cross?

1 Am I a soldier of the cross
A follow'r of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his name?

Chorus:
We'll fight to win the battle,
We're soldiers of the cross;
We march beneath the banner,
It must not suffer loss.
We'll fight to win the battle,
We're soldiers of the cross;
We march beneath the banner,
It must not suffer loss.

2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas? [Chorus]

3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God? [Chorus]

4 Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy Word. [Chorus]
