I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord The weapons of my warfare are not carnal The target of my mission is not external An unseen warfare it’s internal Pulling down vain imaginations I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Around my waist the belt of truth Cross my chest the breastplate of righteousness Shoes on my feet the gospel of peace Shield of Faith protect me from the beast I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Overcoming darkness of ignorance The spirit of this world from the evil one Everyday I’m fighting to take control Gain Christ mind to save my soul I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord
