SOLDIERS OF THE LION (Chuck Girard)

     F2/A                          Bb2/D
The field is white and frosty, the hour is drawing near
     F2/A                                Gm
The battle lines are being drawn as the hour of dawn appears
        C/E                          F
In the stillness of the morning, the air is crisp and charged
         Bb                              Gm
With the tension of the battle, and the enemy at large
     F2/A                            Bb2/D
The battlefield is crowded, but the soldiers here are few
        F2/A                        Gm
Yet the enemy is held at bay, no weapon can get through
     C/E                      F
Our tiny band of warriors continue in our stand
    Bb                             F               C
And as new soldiers join us, we prepare to take the land

F                                F2/A             F
We form a line of conquest, like fire our armor shines
         Bb/D                    Gm+2             Gm
With unshakable advancement, we move against the lines
    C/E                                  F2                F
Our swords are drawn and ready, and our numbers grow each day
      Bb/D                                 C
We'll soon be fully strengthened and we'll blow the troops away!

Chorus
            F                             Am
We're the soldiers of the Lion, we're the army of the light
         Bb/D                   Gm
The unstoppable battalion that drives away the night
         C/E                          F       C/E   Bb/D
And the Lion is our standard, and we know we cannot die
           Gm                          C6     C       
'Cause the mighty name of Jesus is our sovereign battle 
F       Am    Bb     Bbm   Bbm6    F
Cry!

F2/A                               Bb2/D
We move against the forces of the father of all lies
        F2/A                       Gm
And the enemy is forced to flee before our very eyes
        C/E                      F
For no demon can resist us or begin to stand against
    Bb/D                    Gm
An army fully armored, no! Hell has no defense!
    C/E                              F
So look out powers of darkness, your hour has finally come
    Bb/D                                 Gm
Our commander's name is Jesus, and we've got you on the run
          C/E
And we'll charge you and we'll route you 
         F        
With the Spirit's mighty sword
       Bb/D                     
You've had this planet long enough, 
    Gm
You know you're not our Lord!
       C/E                              F                Am
So get back to outer darkness, and you leave the saints alone
      Bb                              C              
Your weapons cannot prosper, we're commissioned by the 
C7
Throne!

Chorus
