The Rochesters
The music from The Rochesters has been a blessing to me and a lot of Christian friends as well and this track, “I’m a Soldier” from their latest album We’ve Met To Worship is a new favorite of mine.
The tune of the song is from the ever-loved hymn “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing“.
“Many say that I’m too noisy but I’ll tell you the reason why. If they only felt the glory they would shout as well as I.”
Wow, that is one powerful line. We get excited in basketball games, career promotions, good grades but sometimes we don’t feel God’s glory in our lives to the point that we get excited and shout in excitement. Some Christians have lost that these days. I know there are times that we could not utter a word when in conviction but I believe there are also times that we need to shout and if you should run around that pews, by all means do it! Here’s the lyrics of the song and I hope it will be a blessing to you as well!
I’m a Soldier
The Rochesters
I’m a soldier bound for Glory,
I’m a soldier going home.
Come and here me tell my story,
All who love the savior come.
I will tell you what induced me,
In this glorious fight to start.
‘Twas the Savior’s loving kindness,
Overcame and won my heart.
Many say that I’m too noisy,
But I’ll tell you the reason why.
If they only felt the glory,
They would shout as well as I.
When to death’s dark, swelling river,
Like a warrior I shall come.
Then I need to shout salvation,
And go singing glory home.
I’m a soldier bound for Glory
I’m a soldier going home
Come and here me tell my story
All who love the savior come
I love Jesus, Hallelujah,
I love Jesus, yes I do!
I love Jesus, He’s my Savior,
Jesus smiles and loves me too!
I’m a soldier bound for Glory
I’m a soldier going home
Come and here me tell my story
All who love the savior come
