Lyrics
I just want to be a soldier
In the army of the King
Just a good and faithful soldier
Who's given Christ his everything
I'm content to be a worker
In the vineyard of the Lord
To hear Him say, "Well done my servant"
That's all I ask is my reward
I don't want to be a superstar
Seeking fortune and fame
I’m richer than this whole world by far
Just praying one prayer in Yeshua's name
I would rather be a doorman
In the household of the LORD
Than to be that wealthy poorman
Who sold his soul and bought the world
To live a simple life for Yeshua/Jesus
That's all I ask and all I need
To reap a harvest if He pleases
Or be the one who plants the seed
I don't want to be a superstar
Seeking fortune and fame
I’m richer than this whole world by far
Just singing one song in Yeshua's name
And if I die for Him tomorrow
Don't cry for me when I am gone
Don't lay me down with words of sorrow
I'm just a soldier going home
Don't lay me down with words of sorrow
I'm just a soldier going home
