This one is a long one with long lines, but I couldn’t get the feel I wanted otherwise. If any of you has any critique one this one, PLEASE share it.
It was inspired by a movie I’ve watched a lot recently. It’s call to all Christians. I hope it encourages you to be a brave soldier for Christ.
The movie, ”The Defense of New Haven” one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for clean, family-friendly movies to watch. Check out the website here: https://littlecrewstudios.com/
The Defenders
Messages are coming, warning of marauders in our midst
Invaders seeking to steal, kill and destroy
Their leader, a heartless devil, seeks to crush with his fist
The life and truth that all men need to survive
The call of duty sounds. Who will rise to defend
Rout these spirit raiders, bringing their terror strikes to an end.
The defenders, those who arose to defend
The gospel of Light and rescue men
Upon the Word they must stand. They must fight.
What’s this course instated by those in who leadership stand?
And who’s this mortal in chieftainship in our band?
Knowledge-half is truth and the other is lumped with man’s lies
And men that lead listening to the worldly wise
We are drilled, distracted to harm our enemy has planned
The Book our King left for us is ‘contraband’
Who are we to question the Word our King’s own hand has penned
This is city His that we’re stationed to defend
We must purge our passions, purpose to give all for this fight
And choose this Book to be our weapon of light
Testament of time on hand and the truth strapped at our side
So we will stand- never surrender or hide
Though foes be many and conflicts be intense
Vigilant and sober, prayerfully we’ll rise to the defense
The defenders, those who arise to defend
The gospel of Light and rescue men
Upon the Word they must stand. They must fight.
Will His force arise to triumph if they live only for ease
Or be reduced to a faithful few on their knees?
Rebuild from ashes, return to the Book and give all for
Our King, our comrades and souls caught in this war.
If earthly leaders turn traitor, arise! Soldiers of the King
And rebuke them in our King’s name, tho it sting
He will come someday and the war at last shall be won
The faithful warriors shall hear his ‘’Well done!”
The defenders, those who arose to defend
The gospel of Light and rescue men
Upon the Word they must stand. They must fight.
The defenders, those who arise to defend
The gospel of Light and rescue men
Upon the Word they must stand. They must fight.
