Stripling Warriors


By Shane Brown - Posted on 31 July 2008


Hi! In my writting of lyrics, I've come across one that I am especially fond of. It was co-written by Rodney and I. I wanted to share it here. Since we don't have any audio recordings, I thought it would at least be nice to share. Here it is:

Stripling Warriors

On the field of battle,
Young, brave, and strong,
We are stripling warriors,
Ready to bring it on!

We are fighting the darkness,
Piercing through with truth and light!
Charity is our standard,
Faith, courage, and commitment, our delight!

Chorus:
Captioned by our King, and Holy Commander,
We are guided by unconquerable right!
With flaming swords in hand,
This is the truth, for which we fight!

Rising up to face the gauntlet of hell,
Yet we fear no death,
For we think upon our one true King,
And more firmly upon liberty, than life!

We are true at all times,
In whatsoever thing we are entrusted.
We are disciples of truth and soberness,
Walking uprightly before Him.

We do not doubt,
God, will deliver us!
Our family, leaders, and friends,
Have taught us to believe in Christ!

Bridge:
With such miraculous strength,
And mighty power,
We did fall upon the enemy,
That we did frighten them exceedingly.

Oh what joy, to be a warrior,
For not one soul shall be lost!
We will fight and win, and never quit,
No matter what the cost!

Alma 53:16-23
