Salt & Light, Chris Sligh - Soldiers of a City Lyrics

The struggle is real but we’re honored
And we gladly wear this armor
But the rival has tactics we’ve not seen
Some days we seem outnumbered but soon
The enemy will run we’ll triumph
Cause we prayed and believed
We’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City far beyond the sky
We are in search of the lost sheep
And we comfort those who weep
Claiming God’s unconditional love
Our strength is not our own but by His Power Above
And our words uttered by the Holy One
We’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City far beyond the sky
We are wading through the trenches
We’re marching through the fields
Carrying our Crosses down into the valleys and over the hills
While Jesus guards our blind side
We’re running out of time
So come with me lets raid those enemy lines
Cause we’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City far beyond the sky
Ooh

The struggle is real but we’re honored
And we gladly wear this armor
But the rival has tactics we’ve not seen
Some days we seem outnumbered but soon
The enemy will run we’ll triumph
Cause we prayed and believed
We’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City far beyond the sky
We are in search of the lost sheep
And we comfort those who weep
Claiming God’s unconditional love
Our strength is not our own but by His Power Above
And our words uttered by the Holy One
We’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City far beyond the sky
We are wading through the trenches
We’re marching through the fields
Carrying our Crosses down into the valleys and over the hills
While Jesus guards our blind side
We’re running out of time
So come with me lets raid those enemy lines
Cause we’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City commissioned from On High
Defenders of a promise fighters for the prize
Engaged in a battle between darkness and light
We’re Soldiers of a City far beyond the sky
Ooh
