I Am Christian
We were once dead but by grace, we were given life anew
We shun the words of our enemy and embrace what is loving and true
The crowns of our humbled heads to the soles of our feet
Are dressed in the armor of the Lord, so we stride onward strong and sweet
Unafraid we stand before all demons of fire and shadow
As we raise high our swords of the spirit to lay them low
And when they come forth with all the fury they can wield
We take shelter behind our faith which is our unyielding shield
We walk under the shining banner of the Prince of peace
Whose glory shall never once waver or cease
We speak words of beautiful love and of unfading power
And before us, all horrid hatred shall evermore fall and cower
In charity, we sing for our kin who walk lost in the gloom
In charity, we sing for those that wish upon us none but doom
In charity, we sing until the end of our mortal days and beyond
For the might of God laid our breast is greater than any bond
We walk upon the earth but we are not of the earth
Many of us poor in wealth possess treasures beyond all worth
And so we go on, blessed by holy light and adoration
Greater than all of silver and gold of any mortal nation
We are heralds of the Lord
We fear neither scorn nor sword
Not the even darkness of death
Shall draw from us a fearful breath
If you are family then remember we stumble yet never fall
For Christ and his love is with us until the end of all
If you are a foe who wishes us to be silenced and dead
Remember Christ cares for you no matter where you tread
We shun the words of our enemy and embrace what is loving and true
The crowns of our humbled heads to the soles of our feet
Are dressed in the armor of the Lord, so we stride onward strong and sweet
Unafraid we stand before all demons of fire and shadow
As we raise high our swords of the spirit to lay them low
And when they come forth with all the fury they can wield
We take shelter behind our faith which is our unyielding shield
We walk under the shining banner of the Prince of peace
Whose glory shall never once waver or cease
We speak words of beautiful love and of unfading power
And before us, all horrid hatred shall evermore fall and cower
In charity, we sing for our kin who walk lost in the gloom
In charity, we sing for those that wish upon us none but doom
In charity, we sing until the end of our mortal days and beyond
For the might of God laid our breast is greater than any bond
We walk upon the earth but we are not of the earth
Many of us poor in wealth possess treasures beyond all worth
And so we go on, blessed by holy light and adoration
Greater than all of silver and gold of any mortal nation
We are heralds of the Lord
We fear neither scorn nor sword
Not the even darkness of death
Shall draw from us a fearful breath
If you are family then remember we stumble yet never fall
For Christ and his love is with us until the end of all
If you are a foe who wishes us to be silenced and dead
Remember Christ cares for you no matter where you tread
