Text: Angel Isaacs. Degrees Of Glory. Soldier Of A Lifetime.

Soldier of a lifetime
Suffering from wounds
Remembering the battles
When you fought from noon to noon
Wondering where the power
Of your vigilance has gone

You?re feeling weak, feeling empty
Wondering how, how you?ll carry on

Broken, bent, and branded
Just sitting by your sword
A seasoned, tested warrior
With no will to serve the Lord
In your misery you wonder
If you?ll ever heal again

You?re feeling weak, feeling empty
Wondering how, how you?ll carry on

Then into your line of vision
Appears that beast of sin
And you know the ways to snare him
A spark is lit again
The strategies you?ve proven
Through a thousand battle plans
Sweep through like intuition?and your sword?is in your hand?

Soldier of a lifetime
You know there?s no way back
Each step of faith you?ve traveled
Left a canyon in your tracks
When He asks you you will answer
?Lord, where else would I go??

And when you?re weak, feeling empty
Just know your love for the Lord will pull you on
