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).
