Story behind the song
We should all remember to say, "Thank you" for any kindness shown to us.
Lyrics
SWORD OF PRAISE When the dark one comes knocking, Knocking like a thief, And you cry out in the night In search of some relief, And you know you can never Let that stranger in, That’s the time, The time you must begin To praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, For giving you the strength to Once more raise your sword. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, For giving you The strength to Once more raise your sword. When you’ve fallen in the battle, And you feel the end is near, And the blood on your saddle Speaks of the cost so dear, Of joining the Lord’s Army To fight this world of sin, That’s the time, The time you must begin To praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, For giving you the strength to Once more raise your sword. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, For giving you The strength to Once more raise your sword. When your life is over, And you’re set down in the ground, And the grass and the clover Never make a sound. Your soul rises to Heaven Where the good Lord takes you in, That’s the time, The time you must begin To praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, For giving you the strength to Once more raise your sword. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, For giving you The strength to Once more raise your sword. For giving you The strength to Once more raise your sword. Praise the Lord. Copyright © 1999 Lex Zaleta
