Uriah

Uriah was a mighty man of valor

He was strong and he was brave and he was true

He had won so many battles

He was faithful to the end

Until the day he met betrayal

At the hand of a trusted friend

Uriah pressed forward

Uriah pressed hard

And he was strong in the battle for the Lord

But when the enemy was nearest

And the fighting grew too hot

The army withdrew and Uriah was lost

We too are fighting in a fearsome battle

We must be strong, we must be brave, we must be true

But after oh so many battles

When a brother gets a wound

Do we blame him cause his careless

Do we leave him all too soon?

The soldier pressed forward

The soldier pressed hard

And he was strong in the battle for the Lord

But when the enemy was nearest

And the fighting grew too hot

The army withdrew and the soldier was lost

There are soldiers all around us who have fallen

They were strong and they were brave and they were true

But now because they're weak and wounded

We turn our hearts to stone

We watch them drop their weapons

Exposed and all alone

Oh who upon the field of battle leaves a friend alone

When the enemy is strongest who would dare desert their own?

Oh who will stand beside their brothers watch and weep and pray

Who will raise a wounded soldier to fight another day?

Oh soldier press forward

Oh soldier press hard

And be strong in the battle for the Lord

And when the enemy is nearest

And the fighting grews too hot

/: May we fight as one man :/ 3x

That not one soldier may be lost
