Elijah saw God’s people

Following after Baal

He prayed that God would keep

From them the rain

They saw God’s mighty power

They saw our God prevail

They prayed and they returned to God again

SOLDIERS, IT’S BACK TO BASICS

Chorus

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Jesus Christ Commander, Chief, and Friend

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Keeping God’s commandments till the end

A church in Asia Minor, Ephesus by name

Used to do the things that pleased our God

But then they lost their passion

Their love for Christ did wane

Christ sent a letter by the hand of John

Chorus

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Jesus Christ Commander, Chief, and Friend

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Keeping God’s commandments till the end

The Advent was a movement

led by Jesus Christ

Prophecy was used to show the way

The Sabbath was a treasure unearthed to glorify

And sinners saved by grace through faith

Chorus

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Jesus Christ Commander, Chief, and Friend

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Keeping God’s commandments till the end

The Bible was our manual

Our privilege to obey

Empowered by the Spirit of the Lord

Three angels kept our cadence

With judgment and with grace

We heard them cry aloud with one accord.

Chorus

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Jesus Christ Commander, Chief, and Friend

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Keeping God’s commandments till the end

“Go and make disciples” was our first command

Teaching them what Christ has taught us to

Each member is a soldier doing all we can

To tell the world that Christ is coming soon.

Chorus

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Jesus Christ Commander, Chief, and Friend

Soldiers, it’s back to basics

Keeping God’s commandments till the end
