Uriah
Uriah was a mighty man of valor
He was strong, and he was brave, and he was true
He had won so many battles, he was faithful to the end
Until the day he met betrayal at the hand of a trusted friend

Uriah pressed forward, Uriah pressed hard
And he was strong in the battle for the Lord
But when the enemy was nearest, and the fighting grew too hot
The army withdrew, and . . . Uriah was lost

We too are fighting in a fearsome battle
We must be strong, wе must be brave, we must bе true
But after oh, so many battles, when a brother gets a wound
Do we blame him, ’cause he’s careless, do we leave him all too soon?

The soldier pressed forward, the soldier pressed hard
And he was strong in the battle for the Lord
But when the enemy was nearest, and the fighting grew too hot
The army withdrew, and . . . the soldier was lost

There are soldiers all around us who have fallen
They were strong and they were brave and they were true
But now because they’re weak and wounded, we turn our hearts to stone
We watch them drop their weapons, exposed and all alone
Bridge: Oh, who upon the field of battle leaves a friend alone
When the enemy is strongest, who would dare desert their own?
Oh, who will stand beside their brothers, watch and weep and pray
Who will raise a wounded soldier, to fight another day?

Oh, soldiers press forward, oh, soldiers press hard
And be strong in the battle for the Lord
And when the enemy is nearest, and the fighting grows too hot
May we fight as one man, may we fight as one man
May we fight as one man, that not one soldier may be lost
