Tim Knecht - The Soldier Lyrics

The soldier has his orders
Knows what must be done
Will face each day with courage
Won't turn back or run

The soldier fights with vigor
His resolve none can compare
Takes each mission with a smile
His reward waits up there

Up there where the sun don't swelter
Up there where peace abounds
Up there where the Lord is waiting
To give the soldier his crown

Many years in the trenches
He has spent with comrades
Many have died along the way
Many have turned back

But the soldier keep on marchin
He's learned to cast his cares
On the One that loves him dearly
His reward waits up there

Up there where the sun don't swelter
Up there where peace abounds
Up there where the Lord is waiting
To give the soldier his crown

He can run and not grow weary
Always ready for a fight
Can face all opposition
With the Lord by his side

If the enemy surrounds him
The Lord will hear his prayer
Though he may lose his life
His reward waits up there

Up there where the sun don't swelter
Up there where peace abounds
Up there where the Lord is waiting
To give the soldier his crown
