Cost of Being a Soldier
A poem that came on Christmas day as I sat alone with our heavenly King in that stillness of the living day
He reminded me of the cost involved of being one of his, a soldier not called to live but called
to die.
As I sat and put pen to paper I saw the tears on the face of our King. The Lord would say some
will come but some will not and it is for these my tears do fall. Here is His reminder to us all of the TRUE cost
of being a soldier in His army.
The Poem
A trump is sounded, a soldier is called, will you stand with me a voice cries out?
Will you fight with me the voice calls out? Will you lay down your life for me the voice from
heaven once again speaks out?
Will you give your all? Will you give that very life essence that was breathed into you?
Will you let that last drop of blood fall from your veins?
This is the true cost of a soldier in my army the voice from heaven thunders out.
This is what those who were called in past days and will be called in the days to come.
A trump is sounded, a soldier is called. Did you hear the trump? Did you hear the call?
Will you answer with your all in all? Will you answer with your all in all for no profit for you
at all.
Will you let those words of the Truth flow from you deep within? Will you? Will you? Will you is
my call.
Will you give me your heart and give me your all not for things of this world but for the
Kingdom that is open to all.
Step by step and back to back my mighty army stands still no more. Forward our Commander cries
forward and take back what is rightfully yours.
No holes in the ranks do I see at all for now my army is complete in me, all moving forward,
under one banner following one call, following the Lord of all.
Voices from earth thunder out Lord unto you, to you we will give our all in all. No longer will
we follow man and for you we give our all upon this land, till we fall Lord till we fall.
Till the very last breath drains from our mouths, till the very last drop of blood flows from
our fleshly bodies of this land.
This is what the voices from earth thunder out to the King on high who sits upon His throne so
high.
This is the True cost of following your King the voice from Heaven returns unto
them.
Unto them that have freely chosen and have shown, to the death, to the death for their
King is what will be required of them.
