100. CHRIST, OUR MIGHTY CAPTAIN
1. Christ, our might Captain, leads against the foew;
We will never falter when He bids us go;
Tho’ His righteous purpose we may never know,
Yet we’ll follow all the way.
Forward! Forward! ‘tis the Lord’s command,
Forward! Forward! To the promised land;
Forward! Forward! Let the chorus ring:
We are sure to win with Christ our King!
2. Satan’s fearful onslaughts cannot make us yield,
While we trust in Christ, our Buckler and our Shield;
Pressing ever on – the Spirit’s sword we wield,
And we follow all the way.
3. Let our glorious banner ever be unfurled-
From its might stronghold evil shall be hurled;
Christ, our might Captain, overcomes the world,
And we follow all the way.
4. Fierce the battle rages, but ‘twill not be long,
Then triumphant – shall we join the blessed throng,
Joyfully uniting in the victor’ song-
If we follow all the way.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
