Tired Soldier

A tired soldier makes camp for the night
I have done my duty, I have fought the fight
I bandage my wounds and sharpen my sword
I am anxiously waiting for my reward
The dents in my armor and the marks on my shield
The lonlyness i feel out here in the field
Remembering comrades gone and passed on
Sometimes I'm discouraged but still I press on
I look at the stars and think of God's glory
But just where do I fit into the story
I know he has me here for a reason
And I guess he bless me all in due season
I've been in the struggle for so many years
I've given my share of blood sweat and tears
I must keep my faith when I don't understand
Just what is my purpose, what is God's plan
Sometimes I feel my strength is all spent
But a good soldier still gives one hundred percent
So I'll just keep going and pressing my way
Until I see the Father on that glorious day
I have done my duty, I have fought the fight
I bandage my wounds and sharpen my sword
I am anxiously waiting for my reward
The dents in my armor and the marks on my shield
The lonlyness i feel out here in the field
Remembering comrades gone and passed on
Sometimes I'm discouraged but still I press on
I look at the stars and think of God's glory
But just where do I fit into the story
I know he has me here for a reason
And I guess he bless me all in due season
I've been in the struggle for so many years
I've given my share of blood sweat and tears
I must keep my faith when I don't understand
Just what is my purpose, what is God's plan
Sometimes I feel my strength is all spent
But a good soldier still gives one hundred percent
So I'll just keep going and pressing my way
Until I see the Father on that glorious day
