[Intro]
Marching boots on the gravel
Breath clouds in the cold air
Name written in the battle roll
Heart steady
Sword ready (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I was raised on that stained glass
Now I’m stomping through the stained ash
Every lie that the snake flash
We cut it at the root, let the flame pass
I don’t flinch when the dark talk
Seen chains break where the sparks walk
He put armor on my cracked heart
Turn a cracked stone to a landmark
Got my orders from a blood cross
Every scar that he took, that was my cost
I don’t bow to a threat when my king rose
Let the night bring smoke, watch the light glow
[Chorus]
I’m in the Lord’s army
March when he calls, I go
Shoulder to shoulder with Jesus
Right through the valley of bones
If it’s a noble death, let it be for his throne
If it’s a noble death, let it be for his throne
I’m in the Lord’s army
My life is already his own
[Verse 2]
Whole squad in the foxhole
Hands up, yeah, we locked souls
Heard the hiss in the tall grass
We answered with a war-chant, strong hold
Every shadow got a deadline
Every curse meets a red line
I don’t fear what the flesh lose
When eternity is set like a headline
Got a banner on my back, that’s my lifeline
Even when I flatline, that’s a skyline
‘Cause the grave just a doorway
I step through when he say, “it’s your time”
If the arrows come, let ‘em all fly
I got scripture in my lungs, that’s my battle cry
If I fall on this field, let my last breath say
“Take my life, I already gave it anyway”
[Chorus]
I’m in the Lord’s army
March when he calls, I go
Shoulder to shoulder with Jesus
Right through the valley of bones
If it’s a noble death, let it be for his throne
If it’s a noble death, let it be for his throne
I’m in the Lord’s army
My life is already his own
[Bridge]
If I live, that’s Christ in my rib cage
If I die, that’s gain, that’s an upgrade
Either way I know the end page
Devil’s name written in the dust on the front stage
(Yeah)
So I lace up, head high, heart low
Knees down, that’s the place I reload
You can keep every crown made of short gold
I want the words, “well done,” when the roll’s called
[Chorus]
I’m in the Lord’s army
March when he calls, I go
Shoulder to shoulder with Jesus
Right through the valley of bones
If it’s a noble death, let it be for his throne
If it’s a noble death, let it be for his throne
I’m in the Lord’s army
My life is already his own
