Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause Or blush to speak His name?
Verse 2
Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thru bloody seas?
Verse 3
Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this dark world a friend to grace, To help me on to God?
Verse 4
Sure I must fight if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord, I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word.
