Edition 76 – Battlefield


BATTLEFIELD


Many years ago my two oldest children gave me an extraordinary gift for Father’s Day. It touched me deeply and has been a source of great inspiration and a constant reminder of what my life is all about. It has become the theme song of my life and our family. I recently rediscovered it on my iPod, and was deeply moved as I heard it once again with fresh ears and eyes in light of the last 2 years of my life. It ministered to my soul in such a deep and personal way.

Today, I wanted to share it with all of you. It came from my secret archive of songs that I’ve kept to myself for many years. I trust this song will minister greatly to your own heart and soul, as you reflect on the powerful message and theme of this song. As the culture continues to rage against our Christian faith, to despise and ridicule the people of Christ, it is as if this song was made for these desperate times we live in.

BATTLEFIELD

(author unknown)

One day as I was thinking
On unseen things above
The Savior spoke unto me
And filled my heart with love

(Chorus)
I’m gonna die on the battlefield
I’m gonna die in this war
I’m gonna die on the battlefield
With glory in my soul

I used to have some people
Who walked and talked with me
But since I’ve been converted
They turned their backs on me

Some say give me silver
And some give me gold
But I say give me Jesus
Who saved my dying soul

I’m gonna die on the battlefield
I’m gonna die in this war
I’m gonna die on the battlefield
With glory in my soul
