One Man’s War

 

[Inspired by the life and mission of Sam Childers the Machine Gun Preacher.]

 

 

In this battlefield

God please be my guide

If I hesitate I will surely die

many days I lived on the other side

now a child’s sweet fate

I won’t leave behind

when the morning comes

If I stand or bleed

You made me what I am

make me what You need

let Your Kingdom come

let Your Will be done

I won’t live in days gone by

even if I pay the price of one man’s war (repeats)

at least I’ll know what I’m fighting for

Grace give me a shield

as I raise my gun

plate my heart with steel

till the day is done

when those rebels yell

like devils from hell

be my strength enough

to win this fight for love

let Your Kingdom come

let Your Will be done

I won’t live in days gone by

I have just one choice

when I hear Your Voice

I won’t leave Your child behind

even if I pay the price of one man’s war (repeats)

at least I’ll know what I’m fighting for

Lift your voice sing hallelujah

Lift your voice sing hallelujah

Lift your voice sing hallelujah

We’re going home (repeats)

even if I pay the price of one man’s war (repeats)

at least I’ll know what I’m fighting for
