Militant Soldier - Spoken Word

Militant Soldier

Written by Christine Lombard ("C. Love")

Dedicated to My Mother, Prophetess Vera E. Paul

CHORUS

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).

I took a warrior’s pact

To stand in the gap

And counter the devil’s attack

So, he betta’ step back.

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).

VERSE

In the days of my youth

I strayed from the Truth

The devil had my mind

I was walkin’ dead and blind.

Many years passed by

I preferred to die

Than continue to lie

In the devil’s pit

I had no power to resist.

I was livin’ a lie,

But Jesus still heard my cry.

God sent a valiant soldier

Cuz I done did told ya

I was powerless to fight,

Lost in the darkness of night

I was in the devil’s grasp

My deliverance was no simple task

He held on tight

With all his might

Till little by little, step by step

The devil’s challenge was met

Finally, the chains were broken

This spoken word is just a token

Of my attitude

Of immeasurable gratitude

For the valiant soldier

Whom I done did told ya

Fought the good fight

To set my life right

Now it’s my turn

To let my heart burn

As I carry my sword and shield

On the battle field

As I fight the good fight

To set others’ lives right.

Now I’m God’s answer to others’ cries.

So, for freedom I must live and not die

CHORUS

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).

I took a warrior’s pact

To stand in the gap

And counter the devil’s attack

So, he betta’ step back.

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).
