We are your salvation army
Laying down our weapons
Marching in to battle
Scarred and broken, we are
You kingdom not an empire
Burning with your fire
We were born to love and to war
Onward christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the church arise
On our shoulders we will carry
The wounded from the wreckage
Crowns and thrones will perish
But you remain, we live for
Justice not for honour
Your church will stand forever
We were born to love and to war
Onward christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the church arise
We're crying out
For peace on earth
We're on our knees
For peace on earth
Let every nation sing
Of jesus christ our king
The saints go marching
In we're singing let god arise
Onward christian soldiers
Onward christian soldiers
Onward christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting jesus high
Together we are stronger
We're giving up our lives
So let the church arise
The saints go marching in
The saints go marching in
