A song that honor the faithful "soldiers" who have kept the faith through the years
Story behind the song
Wrote this song to honor our Senior Citizens at church who are so faithful...and persevere through tough times!
Lyrics
Steady steps upon life?s highway
Some rugged miles you?ve had to go
But you have kept His banner lifted
Even when your footsteps slowed
Pressing toward a higher calling
A crown of life, The Holy Prize
Know well the heat of battle?s
Worth the love there in His eyes
Faithful soldiers keep fighting onward
Lift high the cross of Calvary
Faithful soldiers move out before us
Chart a path for us to see
We need your wisdom; we need your courage
Your steady arms to help us stand
Faithful soldiers keep pressing forward
Carry the light in this dark land
Carry the light in this dark land
Press on ahead faithful soldiers
Be brave and bold that we might see
Lift high the cause of Christ before us
As you march in victory
As His word resounds within you-
Your precious sword, your battle song
March on ahead faithful soldiers
Lead us upward, lead us on
