Sometimes I’m weary from the battle
Sometimes it’s hard just to press on
Sometimes the victories seem quite shallow
And it’s hard to tell the right from the wrong
But you hold us in Your arms and You keep us from all harm
Chorus
Sometimes a soldier cries
Sometimes the battle’s too rough
Sometimes the enemy rages and I’m not strong enough
But when the soldier cries
There is a hiding place
Safe in the arms of Your embrace
Safe in the arms of Your embrace
How long will this world go on hurting?
How long will the darkness hide the day?
One day we will look and we’ll see Your glory
And the trials of this life - they will be swept away
But until that day, Lord keep us safe
(repeat chorus)
Be my shield, be my sword, be all power oh Lord
(repeat chorus)
Sometimes a soldier cries
Sometimes the soldier cries
I can be safe in the arms of Your embrace
