Verse 1
"Onward Christian Soldiers" fills our hearts with pride.
But, when the noise of battle starts we run away and hide.
We say we're soldiers of the King; then hide behind our shields.
But you can't be a soldier till you've seen God's battlefield.
Chorus
You'll never win the battle until you stand and fight.
You can't fight the darkness until you've seen the light.
Put on the gospel armor. Take up your sword and shield.
Then, claim the victory in His name. You're on God's battlefield.
Verse 2
When you say "yes" to Jesus, you join the might throng.
If you do just what He says you can sing the victory song.
Don't worry about the enemy, his fate's already sealed.
But you can't be a soldier till you've seen God's battlefield.
Repeat Chorus
