Onward Christian Soldiers

	  		It's not an exact tab, as I don't like doing the key change so early in the song.    
But this is how the band plays it at church. Enjoy!!   

Soldiers--Martin Smith

C#m                              F#m

We are Your kingdom, not an empire

verse 3   
C#m                              F#m   
On our shoulders we will carry    
                                      C#m   
The wounded from the wreckage    
                                         F#m   
Crowns and thrones will perish

Your Church will stand forever

We were born to love and to war
