Soldier For The Lord
I’m a soldier for the Lord
Who’s been up and who’s been down
Though while on the battlefield
I have never turned around.
I face more than flesh and blood
With the devil’s evil hoard.
But they shall not steal my soul
For I swing my Lord’s swift sword.
I wear all of God’s armor
With helmet, breastplate and shield.
As Satan’s arrows fly by
From his archers of the field.
The devil casts his dark net
Over any he may charm.
He’ll lead them from salvation
With his hands upon their arm.
I battle evil daily
And I pray that you’ll join me.
We’re not alone in this world
For we’re loved and watched by Thee.
Happiness
Our happiness doesn’t always depend
On our social standing in life.
Instead good health, with just pursuits
And the love of a child, husband or wife.
Whatever the blessings life may bring
We gladly clutch despite our desires.
Happiness grows like fruit on the vine
Unwelcome to be plucked by liars.
We’re never as happy or unhappy
As we suppose ourselves to be.
Sadly, some live half a lifetime
Before the light of knowledge we see.
True happiness is a wonderful gift
A joy of life, from God to man.
Though most fear it can’t last
We pray to have it, as long as we can.
Happiness helps prolong our days
Though most human joys are swift of wing.
Heaven allots how much we’ll have
As of love and deliverance we sing.
Liberty
Liberty is to be free and independent
Without slavery, imprisonment, or loss of right.
Though bit-by-bit many try to steal it away
For if they were to take it all at once, we’d fight.
So protect your liberty that others don’t have
For beside life, there’s nothing more precious on earth.
Too many have yearned, fought, suffered, and died for it
And we must never lose sight of what liberty is worth.
Evil loves to strike liberty from the cheeks of all
And it’s been that way since the beginning of time.
For a mind that’s not allowed to have a free thought
Becomes but a slave to the masters of mankind.
