verse 1
We are Your salvation army
Laying down our weapons
Marching into battle
Scarred and broken
We are Your kingdom, not an empire
Burning with Your fire
We were born to love and to war
Onward Christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting Jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the Church arise
verse 3
On our shoulders we will carry
The wounded from the wreckage
Crowns and thrones will perish
But You remain
We live for justice not for honor
Your Church will stand forever
We were born to love and to war
Onward Christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting Jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the Church arise
We're crying out for peace on earth
We're on our knees for peace on earth
Let every nation sing
Of Jesus Christ the King
The saints go marching in
Oh Jesus let Your Church arise
Onward Christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting Jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the Church arise
Onward Christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting Jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the Church arise
