Soldiers of the Cross: Defiant Faith in Everyday Life
Lyrics
They took Your commandments off the schoolhouse walls

They say, "It's a crime to even pray within the halls"

But bless the child that lets You in and knows without a doubt
Praising children who welcome and acknowledge God, emphasizing the unwavering faith that resides in them.
Once you live inside a heart, they can't take You out

We are soldiers of the Cross

Where the boss man and the government say they can't share their faith

But they know all too well they'll lose their job if they get caught

But to win a soul for Jesus, they will risk it all because
