A powerful song....


I am doing something different today in that I am just going to share the lyrics of a song that really speak to my heart. I pray it reminds you that the Lord doesn't always expect us to be valiant warriors on the battlefield...sometimes He just wants us to run to Him and let Him put His arms around us for a while. It is a song by Twila Paris and it's title is:
THE WARRIOR IS A CHILD


Lately I've been winning battles left and right

But even winners can get wounded in the fight

People say that I'm amazing

Strong beyond my years

But they don't see inside of me

I'm hiding all the tears


They don't know that I go running home when I fall down

They don't know who picks me up when no one is around

I drop my sword and cry for just a while

'Cause deep inside this armor

The warrior is a child


Unafraid because His armor is the best

But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest

People say that I'm amazing

Never face retreat

But they don't see the enemies

That lay me at His feet


They don't know that I go running home when I fall down

They don't know who picks me up when no one is around

I drop my sword and cry for just a while

'Cause deep inside this armor

The warrior is a child
