WAR

Warriors of the Lord

Stand in triumph

Love over hatred, good over evil,

As the sun slowly sets on Earth

A victorious glow remains on all their faces

Much as the radiant blaze of the blades of their swords,

Sword of the Spirit comfortably in hand,

Harder than diamond, sharp as Light.

The soup of war thickens daily

A most bitter brew

A crude and vulgar brew

Mix of darkened lies and lustful violence

Awful blend of deceit and raw wickedness

Championed by the “Lawless One”

Carried forth by numberless lawless ones

Blood thirsty slaves of the “evil one”;

Enemies of all the good

Enemies destined for eternal fire

A bed of torment made ready for each

In the endless agony of defeat.

 Soldiers of Messiah daily put on the armor of Light

Invincible army

Soldiers clothed with power and authority

Who wield weapons of warfare before unknown

Unheard of precision and deadly force

Massive blows given to the enemy’s head,

Death blows sweep the battlefield clean.

A Captain of Captains leads them

Astride a muscular white horse snorting smoke and fire

Sounds of its hooves as Heaven’s thunder

Greater than earthquakes, the entire World shakes

Every mountain brought low

Every valley brought high.

Fearless armies of warriors trample the battlefields

They charge ahead

Tear through enemy defenses

Crush the evil

Sweep aside the wicked as waste,

Gather the fragrant spoils of victory

With tears perfumed in continual prayer,

Return in joyful harvest

Carrying many armfuls of sheaves

To set before their King of Truth and Justice,

In the greatest acts of honor

And purest worship.
