Soldiers Lyrics

Martin Smith Soldiers

We are your salvation army
Laying down our weapons
Marching in to battle
Scarred and broken, we are
You kingdom not an empire
Burning with your fire
We were born to love and to war

Onward christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the church arise

On our shoulders we will carry
The wounded from the wreckage
Crowns and thrones will perish
But you remain, we live for
Justice not for honour
Your church will stand forever
We were born to love and to war

Onward christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the church arise

We're crying out
For peace on earth
We're on our knees
For peace on earth

Let every nation sing
Of jesus christ our king
The saints go marching
In we're singing let god arise

Onward christian soldiers
Onward christian soldiers

Onward christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the church arise

The saints go marching in
