Bill & Gloria Gaither - Onward Christian Soldiers/We're Marching to Zion (Medley) (Live)
Verse 1
We walk in step through wind and weather,
Eyes ahead, hearts held together.
Jesus before us, steady and near,
Light in the fog when the road turns unclear.
Verse 2
When fear starts tightening, kindness breaks it,
When hope feels distant, mercy makes it.
Night can’t keep what morning brings—
So raise your voice and let it sing.
Chorus
We’re rising to Israel—holy, holy Israel,
We’re rising to Israel, the city of God.
Jesus, our Savior, keep us, don’t let go—
We cross through Emmanuel’s ground, onward we go.
Verse 3
Crowns and powers shift like seasons,
But Christ remains beyond their reasons.
No door of darkness holds Him in—
He spoke a promise that will win.
Bridge
Come all who love the Lord, come close, come in,
Join the chorus, let joy begin.
Honor and blessing, loud and true—
Jesus the King will carry you.
Chorus
We’re rising to Israel—holy, holy Israel,
We’re rising to Israel, the city of God.
Jesus, our Savior, keep us, don’t let go—
We cross through Emmanuel’s ground, onward we go.
Outro
We rise, we rise—by grace restored,
Israel ahead, with Jesus our Lord.
