Sword Of Praise Lyrics - Lex Zaleta

When the dark one comes knocking, 

Knocking like a thief, 

And you cry out in the night 

In search of some relief, 

And you know you can never 

Let that stranger in, 

That's the time, 

The time you must begin 

To praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Praise the Lord, 

For giving you the strength to 

Once more raise your sword. 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

For giving you 

The strength to 

Once more raise your sword. 

When you've fallen in the battle, 

And you feel the end is near, 

And the blood on your saddle 

Speaks of the cost so dear, 

Of joining the Lord's Army 

To fight this world of sin, 

That's the time, 

The time you must begin 

To praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Praise the Lord, 

For giving you the strength to 

Once more raise your sword. 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

For giving you 

The strength to 

Once more raise your sword. 

When your life is over, 

And you're set down in the ground, 

And the grass and the clover 

Never make a sound. 

Your soul rises to Heaven 

Where the good Lord takes you in, 

That's the time, 

The time you must begin 

To praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Praise the Lord, 

For giving you the strength to 

Once more raise your sword. 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

For giving you 

The strength to 

Once more raise your sword. 

For giving you 

The strength to 

Once more raise your sword. 

Praise the Lord.
