Warrior is a Child

 
 

Mission is not for the fainthearted, it’s only for the brave. We are wounded healers; we suffer in silence so we can become the vessel of blessings for others. Twila Paris wrote a song that speaks so much about reality of missionaries. I offer this song to all missionaries out there specially my comrades in arms in FTPW.

Warrior is A Child

Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing
I'm strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears

Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

Unafraid because His armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing
I never face retreat
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet

Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

The more we serve the more we should pray. The busier we are the more we should spend time in His presence. Lord, grant us the grace to grow and finish strong. Amen.
