I wrote this song from the Lord in January 2000. This particular version was recorded at Belmont Church in Nashville, during the 2001 Women on the Frontlines Conference.

He is the Lord and High Commander!
He is the Captain of the Host!
And to His army, His beloved
His is the face they seek the most
Oh look ahead and not behind you
Be warriors humble and assured
Your every sin and weakness covered
By Him whose love can keep us pure
Beware of pride which so beguiles us
The fear of man and self-concern
We fools would serve one who reviles us
And from our Master blindly turn
The swords and armor He has given
We dare not use among our ranks
Entrust yourselves to His correction
Embrace your brethren, give Him thanks
Though we have fought many a battle
All seasoned veterans, serving well
We might have rescued many others
Who for the cost of victory fell
Our Captain walks among His wounded
On fields of warfare gashed and stained
Which stronger soldiers would abandon
These weakened ones He knows by name
His royal throne He left behind Him
Hung on the cross, suffered defeat
Where was engraved our invitation
To sit upon His mercy seat
Hung on the cross, suffered defeat
Where was engraved our invitation
To sit upon His mercy seat
When arrows fly and warriors falter
The smoky clouds of battle clear
These wounded souls recall his altar
Whereon was poured His blood so dear
With banners high and pageant splendor
All polished clean and dignified
Sing mighty songs of your defender
The Lord of Hosts…Christ crucified!
He is the Lord and High Commander!
He is the Captain of the Host!
And to His army, His beloved,
His is the face we seek the most.
And to His army, His beloved
His is the face we seek the most
