An Army Asleep in the Light

The soldiers all have armor
They have a greater cause
And marching orders
From a commander
Who laid out the plan.

The enemy has been revealed.
He’s even been defeated.
The victory is in the hands
Of the righteous army
Asleep in the Light.

Every Sunday morning the
Army meets in camps
To make strategic plans
Of how to move out--
How to win the battle of the week

Do soldiers share their battle tales?
Or do they only compare uniforms
And tell what they did at home
While others went out to war?

How much ground did you lose?
Did the devil take his spoils?
Wake up! Wake up, you warriors!
You are more than conquerors
Come home shouting
Awake in the Light!
