[Opening – almost spoken]

​

"It was then that I knew..."

"You're a Warrior of God."

​

[Verse 1]

​

"I'll leave you with memories...
A scar upon your heart.
Until I return,
You will carry my mark.

Today your loved ones
Have no need to cry.
You stood before me...
And looked me in the eye."

​

[Verse 2]

​

"This day you'll remember...
You've been reborn."

Then as quickly as he came
That mighty figure was gone.
The clouds slowly parted,
Welcoming the dawn.

The silence surrounded me,
Yet nothing felt the same.
I'd looked into eternity...
And walked away again.

​

[Chorus]

​

I'll wear the mark upon my heart
Until my journey's done.
I'll spend each day in kindness now
Beneath God's rising sun.

A Warrior of God I'll stand
Until my final breath.
For every day's a gift from Him...
Not promised by Death.

​

[Verse 3]

​

The sky had now brightened
As I lay there in pain.
He'd gone...
But had promised
He would come back again.

I hope it's many years
Before he returns for me.
There's still so much beauty
In this life to see.

​

[Verse 4]

​

I'll lift the weak,
I'll help the lost,
I'll give far more than I take.
For every dawn
That greets my eyes
Is another chance to wake.

The scar still burns
Deep in my chest.
A reminder every day.
Life is far too precious
To simply waste away.

​

[Final Chorus]

​

I'll wear the mark upon my heart
Until my journey's done.
I'll spend each day in kindness now
Beneath God's rising sun.

A Warrior of God I'll stand
Until my final breath.
Then I'll walk unafraid once more...
With the Angel of Death.

​

[Spoken Outro]

​

For when he comes...

As one day he will...

I won't be filled with fear.

I'll simply walk beside him...

As an old friend.
