The Wounded Soldier

See him, daring,
The wounded soldier.
His face is set as a flint,
He is set, wild as a lion,
He cannot be put to shame.

He goes to the battlefield,
All alone, unannounced,
He goes with courage unalloyed.
He goes to the battle front fierce unabated.

So undaunted, watch him,
The wounded soldier.

Now, see the wounds,
Of a wounded soldier,
You can sight the scar.
Now, we can see the
Wounded soldier!

See Him, daring,
Moved with courage,
Still on course, on site,
See the wounded soldier's strength abounds.
His scar is scary but,
He is yet undisturbed, disquieted,
and unperturbed.

Even now, he is all alone, yet
Moving with strength…
Oh, I can see the grace and strength,
Of a Nigerian Christian wounded soldier.

As mighty kings,
He took the spoil and prey to himself,
As in the book of Deuteronomy 13:16.
As king David and Jehoshaphat,
He carried off the plunder back home…

Thou wounded solder, you're not alone,
And surely, so assuredly,
You surely will finish your course,
As the LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.

See the wounds, of a wounded soldier!!!
