"Only An Armourbearer" - Piano Playing & Songs Worth Singing
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
The armour is the Lord's, not ours. We are only an armourbearer.
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
On-ly an ar-mour-bear-er, firm-ly I stand,
Wait-ing to fol-low at the King's com-mand;
March-ing, if on-ward shall the or-der be,
Stand-ing by my cap-tain, serv-ing faith-ful-ly.
REFRAIN:
Hear ye the bat-tle cry, "For-ward," the call!
See! see the fal-t'ring ones, back-ward they fall.
Sure-ly the cap-tain may de-pend on me,
Though but an ar-mour-bear-er I may be,
Sure-ly the cap-tain may de-pend on me,
Though but an ar-mour-bear-er I may be.
VERSE 2:
On-ly an ar-mour-bear-er, now in the field,
Guard-ing a shin-ing hel-met, sword, and shield,
Wait-ing to hear the thrill-ing bat-tle-cry,
Read-y then to an-swer, "Mas-ter, here am I."
REFRAIN:
Hear ye the bat-tle cry, "For-ward," the call!
See! see the fal-t'ring ones, back-ward they fall.
Sure-ly the cap-tain may de-pend on me,
Though but an ar-mour-bear-er I may be,
Sure-ly the cap-tain may de-pend on me,
Though but an ar-mour-bear-er I may be.
VERSE 3:
On-ly an ar-mour-bear-er, yet may I share
Glo-ry im-mor-tal, and a bright crown wear;
If, in the bat-tle, to my trust I'm true,
Mine shall be the hon-ours in the grand re-view.
REFRAIN:
Hear ye the bat-tle cry, "For-ward," the call!
See! see the fal-t'ring ones, back-ward they fall.
Sure-ly the cap-tain may de-pend on me,
Though but an ar-mour-bear-er I may be,
Sure-ly the cap-tain may de-pend on me,
Though but an ar-mour-bear-er I may be.
