Weary Warrior

"Weary Warrior" is an anthem of resilient faith, capturing the exhaustion of life's relentless battles—physical pain, emotional torment, and spiritual warfare. Through raw vulnerability, it expresses a longing for momentary softness and easy breaths, yet affirms an unyielding commitment to press on, anchored in God's steadfast promises.

With a gritty plea for divine strength and Holy Ghost wind, the song celebrates rising hotter after every fall, sharpening one's sword in silence, and shining hope into the darkness for the hopeless. It's a soul-stirring call to persevere with purpose, trusting in His guiding light and unfailing plan.

I'm tired of being a fighter,
Worn out from the daily war,
Dragging this weary body from the bed,
Through the pain that shakes my core.
Afflictions and torment chase me down,
Every step a battleground,
Instead of strong, I long to be soft,
Where smiles come easy, not forced or faked somehow.

Oh, can't I just be free for one day?
Breathe easy, no wrestling for air,
But life keeps rolling, won't wait for me,
Through the heavy load I can hardly bear.
Lord, strengthen me, guide my weary steps,
Put that Holy Ghost wind back in my sails,
I've got work to do, light to shine in the dark,
Hope to give the hopeless, help me not to fail.

I'll keep pressing on, no time to quit,
Pain won't stop the world from turning 'round,
Get up each morning, drag through the fight,
Praying for strength to hold my ground.
You promised never to leave my side,
Steadfast and faithful, through to the end,
So I'll be true to You, follow Your lead,
Till that day comes, rekindle my hope again.

Oh, can't I just be free for one day?
Breathe easy, no wrestling for air,
But life keeps rolling, won't wait for me,
Through the heavy load I can hardly bear.
Lord, strengthen me, guide my weary steps,
Put that Holy Ghost wind back in my sails,
I've got work to do, light to shine in the dark,
Hope to give the hopeless, help me not to fail.

I may get knocked down, rug pulled away,
But I rise up hotter, burning bright,
Devil, you think you've won the round,
But I land on my knees, ready for the fight.
Thought I'd laid down my sword for good?
Naw, just sharpening it in the quiet storm,
Compose myself in the silence deep,
Then soar with healing wings, transformed.

Holding to His hope, anchored in His strength,
Guided by His light, renewed in faith so true,
Pressing on with purpose, trusting in His plan,
Faithful and steadfast, He'll see me through.

Oh, can't I just be free for one day?
Breathe easy, no wrestling for air,
But life keeps rolling, won't wait for me,
Through the heavy load I can hardly bear.
Lord, strengthen me, guide my weary steps,
Put that Holy Ghost wind back in my sails,
I've got work to do, light to shine in the dark,
Hope to give the hopeless, help me not to fail.

In the hopeless places
Help me shine Your light
Be the flame that guides me
Through the darkest night

Though I'm tired and I'm weary
I'm not giving up the fight
This soldier's gonna keep on shining
This flame that You ignite
