Yes, it is the greatest privilege to be the soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ. Soldiers of this world fight and wins the battle by killing. But, the soldier of Christ fights and wins the battle by saving souls of men and women.

God bless you for this site and sharing the praises that the Lord's people have wrote. I learned this song through my mum who is a very sincere Christian. It's a beautiful song like any other hymns and we indeed live as a soldier of the Cross as Jesus' desciples with His wonderful and beautiful name!
