This Sunday sees the enrollment of two new soldiers at St Mary Cray - Hallelujah!
John Harding and Andrew Skipjack have enlisted for the Salvation war.
In preparartion for the big day I have written the following song to be used during the signing of the soldier's covenant.
We will sing these words to the tune of Repton:
In faithfulness we humbly bow
Before your throne Lord Christ,
Draw close and hear our sacred vow
And may your grace accept just now
The lives we’ve sacrificed.
As soldiers we are called to fight
In this dark world of sin.
O Pentecostal flame ignite
Our lives with holy fire and light
So we will fight and win.
We’ll feed the hungry, save the lost,
The prisoner we’ll release
The poor and lame we’ll gladly host
We’ll pray and preach but love the most
Empowered by your peace
So come and seal our offering
Accept our lives we pray
As in our hearts we crown you king
And with the angels gladly sing
Of soldiers made today.
May God bless the new converts - pictures and a full report will appear here on Monday!
Love and prayers
A

Brilliant lyrics! Holy Spirit inspired, to be sure.
You're an inspiration, friend.
I thank God for raising up leaders with a sense of Apostleship, on their ministry.
Looking forward to your report.
Blessings!!
Andrew,
Hope you and Tracy and kids are well.
Would like to use your words in a meeting in July when I enrol a new soldier in Kirkwall - Hallelujah!
God Bless, Matthew.
