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).

So Much More - Spoken Word


So Much More

Written January 23, 2011

Salvation is so much
More than a religious crutch
So much more than such and such 
More than sayin’ a sinners prayer
More than blowin’ hot air
More than emotional tears
And hell stained fears
More than cryin’ eyes
And sorrowful lies
More than stuffy noses at the altar
And dippin’ in baptismal waters
More than playin’ church
More than bein’ first
To dig inside your pocket or purse
More than givin’ tithes
Or one’s offerin’ size
More than a shout and dance
More than pomp and circumstance.

Just sit back, relax
Let’s get to the facts
This is a direct attack
On all religious smack.

Oh!  I used to talk a good talk
But my crippled legs couldn’t walk.
I used to speak religious smack
All the while, my mind was wacked
I had no power
So I would simply cower
Behind a religious mask
Pretendin’ was my favorite task.
I searched out religion
Repeatin’ my decision
To search for salvation
At every church station
I could possibly find
While the devil controlled my mind.
Could no one help me?
Could no one see
My painfully dismal reality?
I knew all the right words
Lookin’ back it seems absurd.
Salvation standin’ so close
Yet, I remained a withered up rose
With little life, but a whole lot of thorns
But oh!  How I wanted to be reborn!
So close, yet so far away
So I just continued to pray
The best way I knew how
Even when no one else was around
To hear my lamenting sound.

I did NOT find salvation
In a church denomination
I did NOT find salvation
At ANY church station
I found HIM in the strangest place
Cuz mine was a SERIOUS case
I found Him while seeking His face
And religion was finally erased!
I found HIM in RELATIONSHIP
A long distance trip
Out of a terrible maze
That took YEARS longer than days.
I could not find my own way
Cuz my mind was so prone to stray.
So, God sent me a spiritual Mother
That could PRAY like none other!
Yes, God sent me a mentor
None other than God could have sent her
So that I could finally enter
The Door of Life
That led me out of religious strife.
It took DEEP intercession
For me to taste of Salvation’s blessin’!
Through prayer, the chains were broken.
Finally, from death I awoken
To find True Salvation
And join a Kingdom nation!

Salvation is so much
More than a religious crutch
So much more than such and such
SALVATION IS RELATIONSHIP
A long distance trip
Out of a terrible maze
That often takes YEARS longer than days.

Do you know HE
Who died on a tree?
I intercede
Oh, how I plead
For those who desperately need
To grow
To know
Salvation is so much
More than a religious crutch
So much more than such and such
SALVATION IS RELATIONSHIP
A long distance trip
Out of a terrible maze
That often takes YEARS longer than days.
Salvation is all about JESUS
Not about people pleasers
Salvation is all about JESUS,
The True Salvation Station
Not about church denomination
Cuz Jesus IS the One and Only
Restorer of the lost and lonely
SALVATION IS RELATIONSHIP
A long distance trip
Through a Wonderful DOOR
To Life Eternity and religious sorrow no more!

The Anthem of the Body and Bride of Messiah


The Anthem of the Body and Bride of Messiah


My lips can't seal
Cause my God is real.
My hands be raisin'
As I worship and praise HIm.
For the rest of my days
I'll be amazed
At His wondrous ways!

Yeshua Hamashiach,
I lift Your name higher and higher!
Yeshua Hamashiach,
I lift Your name higher and higher!

I’m the trumpet at Your mouth
Dat’ You blow through,
But I’m a livin’ horn who knows You.
I’ve come just to show You
How much I love You,
And I’m crushing da’ head
Of da’ one who wished dat’ he was You!
I’m the Daughter of Zion
And I now bow to the majestic Lion
Of the tribe of Judah
My Husband, King and Ruler.
I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
The Risen Great I AM.
I’m the Body and Bride of Messiah,
And there’s no other name higher
Than Yeshua Hamashiach!


Yeshua Hamashiach,
I lift Your name higher and higher!
Yeshua Hamashiach,
I lift Your name higher and higher!

I’m a livin’ demonstration
To the nations
Marked by the sign of repentance
Awaiting the reentrance
Of the Shekinah glory,
The completion of Your redemption story,
And the rising of Zion
As The majestic Lion
Of the tribe of Judah
My Husband, King and Ruler
Expels every leaven
That opposes the Kingdom of Heaven.
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth even as it is in Heaven
Expelling every form of leaven.

My lips can't seal
Cause my God is real.
My hands be raisin'
As I worship and praise HIm.
For the rest of my days
I'll be amazed
At His wondrous ways!

Yeshua Hamashiach,
I lift Your name higher and higher!
Yeshua Hamashiach,
I lift Your name higher and higher!

I’m the trumpet at Your mouth
Dat’ You blow through,
But I’m a livin’ horn who knows You.
I’ve come just to show You
How much I love You,
And I’m crushing da’ head
Of da’ one who wished dat’ he was You!
I’m the Daughter of Zion
And I now bow to the majestic Lion
Of the tribe of Judah
My Husband, King and Ruler.
I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
The Risen Great I AM.
I’m the Body and Bride of Messiah,
And there’s no other name higher
Than Yeshua Hamashiach!
