Transforming Soldier

Transforming Soldier
There you are my child,
how transformed you are.
You came to me a casualty,
a victim of my war.
Now you leave from here,
while never leaving me.

How transformed you are,
a soldier on my side.
Missionary you leave here,
a leader in my war.
Transforming casualties by the hundreds,
transforming just like you.

Live in your faith of me,
their old lives will be their gun.
They'll shoot at you,
just to stop you soldier.
But I shall be your shield,
faith firing unto them

There you are my child,
look at all you've done.
Over all these years,
my transforming soldier.
You helped me on the way,
winning many to my side.

Now child, your time has come,
so say good bye to war.
I'm calling you home now child,
your reward shall be so great.
No man shall ever know,
how true you were to me.
