Some people want to live Within the sound of chapel bells But I want to run a mission A yard from the gates of hell And with everyone you meet I'll take them the gospel and share it well And look around you as you hesitate For another soul just fell, let's run to the battle Run to the battle Do you have your armor on? We're in the middle of a raging war We've been training for so long Have we learned to use His sword? We may not be ready but we serve a mighty Lord And He's made us more than conquerors So what are you waiting for? Let's run to the battle We got to run, run to the battle He has trampled down the enemy And has given us the victory When we pray we learn to see that His army We are marching on our knees There'll be times when we grow weak Let's keep our faith alive Let your faces shine with glory For He's helped us to survive And in that final hour when you feel like you're ready to die Will you hear the trumpet sound Will you hear the warrior cry, run to the battle We got to run, run to the battle Some people want to live Within the sound of chapel bells But I want to run a mission A yard from the gates of hell And with everyone you meet I'll take them the gospel and share it well And look around you as you hesitate For another soul just fell, let's run to the battle Run to the battle
