22084. AM I A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS
Lyrics & Stanzas
6 portions
Verse 1
Am I a soldier of the cross, A foll'wer 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 flow'ry 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 vile 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.
Verse 5
Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, tho' they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith's discerning eye.
Verse 6
Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, tho' they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith's discerning eye.
