SOLDIERS OF THE LION (Chuck Girard)
The f[F2/A]ield is white and frosty, the [Bb2/D]hour is drawing near
The b[F2/A]attle lines are being drawn as the h[Gm]our of dawn appears
In the s[C/E]tillness of the morning, the [F]air is crisp and charged
With the [Bb]tension of the battle, and the e[Gm]nemy at large
The b[F2/A]attlefield is crowded, but the s[Bb2/D]oldiers here are few
Yet the [F2/A]enemy is held at bay, no wea[Gm]pon can get through
Our t[C/E]iny band of warriors cont[F]inue in our stand
And [Bb]as new soldiers join us, we pre[F]pare to take the[C] land
[F]We form a line of conquest, like [F2/A]fire our armor sh[F]ines
With unsh[Bb/D]akable advancement, we m[Gm+2]ove against the l[Gm]ines
Our [C/E]swords are drawn and ready, and our n[F2]umbers grow each d[F]ay
We'll [Bb/D]soon be fully strengthened and we'll [C]blow the troops away!
Chorus
We're the so[F]ldiers of the Lion, we're the [Am]army of the light
The unsto[Bb/D]ppable battalion that d[Gm]rives away the night
And the L[C/E]ion is our standard, and we k[F]now we c[C/E]annot [Bb/D]die
'Cause the [Gm]mighty name of Jesus is our [C6]soverei[C]gn battle
[F]Cry![Am][Bb][Bbm][Bbm6][F]
[F2/A]We move against the forces of the f[Bb2/D]ather of all lies
And the [F2/A]enemy is forced to flee bef[Gm]ore our very eyes
For no d[C/E]emon can resist us or beg[F]in to stand against
An a[Bb/D]rmy fully armored, no! H[Gm]ell has no defense!
So l[C/E]ook out powers of darkness, your [F]hour has finally come
Our [Bb/D]commander's name is Jesus, and we've [Gm]got you on the run
And we'll [C/E]charge you and we'll route you
With the [F]Spirit's mighty sword
You've [Bb/D]had this planet long enough,
You [Gm]know you're not our Lord!
So get [C/E]back to outer darkness, and you l[F]eave the saints a[Am]lone
Your w[Bb]eapons cannot prosper, we're com[C]missioned by the
[C7]Throne!
