A promotion in the field – v2


the trumpet sounding
the call home
on to Glory
in the service of the Lord

in the field of battle
the vineyards, the forests
marching in this wilderness
carrying the battle flag

faithful to the calling
to the teachings of our God
honoring the commitment
to the commands of our Lord

a promotion in the field
given a new assignment
promoted as a servant
marching on to Glory
