From 1 Samuel 18:14-16:  “David had success in all his undertakings, for the Lord was with him.  When Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in awe of him.  But all Israel and Judah loved David, for it was he who marched out and came in leading them.”

Marching upright, heaven’s sacred drum

Accepting His will, faithfully come

Shattering evil’s empty façade

Navigating from darkness, with God

Trusting His hands, molding every heart

Following Spirit, renewing start

Searching heavens, finding lasting peace

Living in righteousness, never cease

Leaving sinful ways, Jesus leading

Steering life’s mission, now proceeding

Heeding His call, taking faith’s high road

Promising light, Lord’s mercy bestowed

Looking past Bethlehem, blood-stained cross

Seeing empty tomb, enemy’s loss

Building up redemption’s faithful walls

Touching another soul, God’s grace calls

Seeking Christian soldiers, through His Word

Lasting victory, no longer blurred

Stepping on ashes, filled with untruth

Marching with Christ, believing His truth

From 2 Timothy 2:2-3:  “What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.  Share in suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.”
