Soldiers Keeping Watch
I'm keeping watch, all night
staying alert, and ready to fight
In these trenches low and deep
nasty, nasty, dirt is all I eat.
my cross around my neck, my bible close by
victory I smell, I'm ready to die.
I'm keeping watch, all night long
praying and singing my victory song
the enemy is close, my gun in my hand
come any closer my bullet will land.
They say the soldier is the army. I'm doing
my part. serving my country and loving my God.
I'm keeping watch, all night long.
