A Soldier Wounded
by Effie Darlene Barba
A Soldier wounded in the fight
In desparate need your strength, your might
I need to go, a place to hide
That draws me closer to Your side
This battle Lord has knocked me down
Until it’s hard to glimpse Your crown
With evil pushing all around
I dearly need Your solace found
That I might rise again to fight
With vision of the brilliant light
Of your great glory in the end
Oh that your love I might defend
Within this world, pain doth abound
I need your word my mind surround
Until I cannot hear their voice
So I might know what is your choice
I must lay down my sword tonight
And pray for strength tomorrow’s light
That I might stand once more for you
With Christ, my King my only view
So hold me tight within your arms
And keep me safe from all that harms
My tears may fall against your chest
Until I KNOW Your will is best.
