    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
