Wounded for a while, I struggled,
Hiding from the the fray.
Groaning, I thought I could lie
Peacefully and stay
Far away from all the danger,
Letting others fight.
But I knew, oh, I knew
That it wasn't right.
Warrior souls hear the battle
Calling out to them.
Out of earshot of the noise,
Still, I hear the din...
See the other wounded falling...
Hear the cries of pain.
And I know I must rise,
I must fight again.
Here I come, falling brother!
Let me lend a hand.
Do not fear, I am back now.
Let us make the stand!
If we do not fight, our foe
Will utterly destroy!
He will rob us of our life--
Take away it's joy.
How I long for cool, green pastures!
How I long for peace!
But that's for another day,
Now, there is no ease.
So I bind my wounds and boldly
Stand up as I should,
Knowing, when the battle ends,
I'll have fought for good.

I am one of many whose path has been made clearer
By the light you've carried faithfully as a warrior and a child
God has used you greatly to encourage and inspire
And you've remained a true friend all the while
So I will never put you on a pedestal
'Cause we both know all the glory is the Lord's
And I'll be there to pray that He will keep you by His grace
And I always will remind you to be seeking His face
Should it ever come your time to mourn
I will weep with you
And every single time you win
I'm celebrating too
I will celebrate with you
I will be an open door that you can count on
Anywhere you are, anywhere you've been
I will be an honest heart you can depend on
I will be a faithful friend
These are lyrics from the song 'Faithful Friend' by Twila Paris but they go double for me. Welcome home sister!
