To tread the path
The cross has paved
To pass through the gauntlet
Whole and unscathed
That high place
Where the table is prepared
And the enemy sees you feast
Every chain falls away
And you journey forth in peace
I call you up!
Warrior poets!
Come out of yourselves
And find your worth once more
You belong at the Father’s side
Under the banner of the Love of the Lord
I impart wholeness and freedom
I declare passion and strength in your wings
There is hope in your song now
And gladness in the heart of those who sing
Come around
Gather to hear this word:
Your voice matters
It is time to be heard!
Relinquish the grief
Let pain fall away
Rise up, warrior poets
Be released and unleashed this day
Lift up your heads
Let fire burn once more in your eyes
Wisdom is alive in the mountain of faith
Warrior poets, arise!
