Soldiers Of The Lion

SOLDIERS OF THE LION (Chuck Girard) F2/A Bb2/D The field is white and frosty, the hour is drawing near F2/A Gm The battle lines are being drawn as the hour of dawn appears C/E F In the stillness of the morning, the air is crisp and charged Bb Gm With the tension of the battle, and the enemy at large F2/A Bb2/D The battlefield is crowded, but the soldiers here are few F2/A Gm Yet the enemy is held at bay, no weapon can get through C/E F Our tiny band of warriors continue in our stand Bb F C And as new soldiers join us, we prepare to take the land F F2/A F We form a line of conquest, like fire our armor shines Bb/D Gm+2 Gm With unshakable advancement, we move against the lines C/E F2 F Our swords are drawn and ready, and our numbers grow each day Bb/D C We'll soon be fully strengthened and we'll blow the troops away! Chorus F Am We're the soldiers of the Lion, we're the army of the light Bb/D Gm The unstoppable battalion that drives away the night C/E F C/E Bb/D And the Lion is our standard, and we know we cannot die Gm C6 C 'Cause the mighty name of Jesus is our sovereign battle F Fbm6 Cry! F2/A Bb2/D We move against the forces of the father of all lies F2/A Gm And the enemy is forced to flee before our very eyes C/E F For no demon can resist us or begin to stand against Bb/D Gm An army fully armored, no! Hell has no defense! C/E F So look out powers of darkness, your hour has finally come Bb/D Gm Our commander's name is Jesus, and we've got you on the run C/E And we'll charge you and we'll route you F With the Spirit's mighty sword Bb/D You've had this planet long enough, Gm You know you're not our Lord! C/E F Am So get back to outer darkness, and you leave the saints alone Bb C Your weapons cannot prosper, we're commissioned by the C7 Throne! Chorus 1982 Sea of Glass Music/ASCAP
