CHILDREN OF THE SUN
Author(s): Shadrach, Nicholas
Songbook: Unpubbed Other
KeyWords: Fight the Good Fight,

A tiny band of weary knights,
Returning from their endless fights,
Dirty, bruised and bedraggled,
From some defeat in battle,
Approached a great wall and pompous city,
Grey and proud and forbidding,
They looked for rest and refuge there,
But the system refused to care

Chorus One:
We are children of the sun,
From every land and tribe we've come,
Rejected by this generation,
Marching toward a Heavenly Nation

So they left and trudged on past,
Tired and worn, until at last,
They came upon a village
In which a filthy beggar lay in a wayside ditch,
Their hearts reached out to the beggar's cries,
And as the tears filled their eyes,
They told him "We are just like you,
So come and join us too"

Chorus One:
We are children of the sun,
From every land and tribe we've come,
Rejected by this generation,
Marching toward a Heavenly Nation

Chorus Two:
We are soldiers of the King,
David leads us as we sing,
The gates of hell cannot prevail,
For love and faith can never fail

And as they ride toward the horizon,
The sunset sky they kept their eyes on,
Instead of getting small, they grew,
And filled the sky with others too
Who joined them as they left behind,
The system which was so unkind,
The story is the truth, not lies,
It's happening before your eyes

[Repeat Chorus One]

[Repeat Chorus Two]

Chorus Three:
Knights in armor of the Lord,
Take up the Word, it is your sword,
In the end we'll win you'll see,
'cause Jesus has the victory
