There was a soldier, a mighty prayer warrior

Who went into battle on his face first

He was up against a wall down in Jericho

When the Lord appeared and said

My instructions follow

You've got to have ...

Grace under fire, grace under fire

If you're gonna be of any use

When all hell breaks loose

You've got to have ...

Grace under fire

There was a man nailed to a tree

Willingly for you and me

There were people standing by, who started to cry

He saved others

Let him save himself, let him try

He had ...

Grace under fire, grace under fire

If you're gonna be any of any use

When your neck's in the noose

You've got to have ...

Grace under fire

There was a church, that would not surrender

For they were wise, to the great pre-tender

They did not sleep, nor did they slumber

For they had received a victorious power

To have ...

Grace under fire, grace under fire

If you're gonna be any of any use

When you're under abuse

You've got to have ...

Grace under fire, grace under fire

If you're gonna be any of any use

If you want to see the chains break loose

You've got to have ...

Grace under fire
