SAVED TO SERVE
Jesus took me out from darkness,
Placed my feet on paths of light;
Says to me go fight my battles,
Fight against the fiend of night.
Says to me, take all the armor,
Girdle, breastplate, sword, and shield,
And leave not off the helmet,
You will need them on the field.
Says the way is rough and thorny,
Satan's army strong and fleet;
And the mountains steep and rugged,
Do not fail to shoe your feet.
Look to me I am your leader,
I have trod the path of life;
I will succor when you're tempted,
And be with you in the strife.
Though you fall you shall not perish,
I'll uphold you with my hand;
And will lead you on to victory,
On to happy Canaan's land.
And to me, if you've been faithful,
I will crown your loyal head,
In the kingdom of my Father,
When I raise you from the dead.
