[Intro]
Boots on the ground
Armor laced tight
Sword in the Word
We gon’ fight tonight (let’s go)
[Verse 1]
Devil in my face like “bow down”
I just quote Scripture, stand my ground
Blood on the banner, that’s my flag
Lion of Judah on my tag (yeah)
I was in chains, now I’m on call
Heard His voice cut through that fog
“Follow Me” echo in my skull
Dropped my sins like a duffel on the floor
[Chorus]
Pick up your cross
We at war right now
If it cost my life
I ain’t backing down
King on the throne
I’ma hold that line
Pick up your cross
March in time, in time (uh)
Pick up your cross
We at war right now
If it cost my life
I ain’t backing down
Hands in the air
Lay my will right down
Pick up your cross
I’ma follow that sound (let’s go)
[Verse 2]
Whole squad praying in the foxhole
Tears on the dirt, still hopeful
Arrows in the sky, yeah they come fast
Faith like a shield when they hit, they crack
Old me died on a Friday night
New me walked from an empty site
He said “walk light but carry that beam”
So I shoulder that weight for the winning team (yeah)
[Bridge]
I don’t run from the fire (nah)
I walk in with the choir (hey)
Name of Jesus on my lips
Every giant getting tired
If I fall, then I fall on my knees
Rise up swinging with a hallelujah scream (hallelujah)
[Chorus]
Pick up your cross
We at war right now
If it cost my life
I ain’t backing down
King on the throne
I’ma hold that line
Pick up your cross
March in time, in time
Pick up your cross
We at war right now
If it cost my life
I ain’t backing down
Hands in the air
Lay my will right down
Pick up your cross
I’ma follow that sound (yeah)
