THE CRABB FAMILY
"Wounded Soldier"
(Gerald Crabb)

Lord, my battle scars are many
And my medals must be few
For in the midst of conflict raging
So often I've failed You

But somehow You've kept me standing
You picked me up each time I'd fall
You don't cast out wounded soldiers
You just love them through it all

One day all the soldiers will go home
They'll cease fighting
For the battle will be won

As the Captain says, "Well done
You've fought the fight, the race is run"
Wounded soldier, the war is over
Welcome home

In my heart, I am a victor
Yet at times the flesh is weak
So often I have begged Your grace lest
I go down in defeat

It's then I recall that battle
That was fought by You alone
As Your blood ran from that rugged cross
Our victories were won

One day all the soldiers will go home
They'll cease fighting
For the battle will be won

As the Captain says, "Well done
You've fought the fight, the race is run"
Wounded soldier, the war is over
Welcome home
