Crown of Joy - Yes Sir! Lyrics

I'm living in the middle of a battlefield
I'm fighting the enemies surrounding me
My only weapons are this sword and shield
And to the strangers' eyes it looks there's no hope
Against overwhelming odds I've reached the end of my rope

And then a voice shouts from the darkness
Stand strong and be courageous
Be not afraid, neither be dismayed
And to my King's commands I say

Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
He issues his commands and
I will quickly stand to carry out his word
I put my hand to my brow,
I am moving right now
He is my King and I say-ee-ay-ay
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
He is my King and I say yes sir

We're fighting this war for our immortal souls
Always wrestling the darkness within and without us
We're doomed to failure standing on our own
But we are not alone, He's standing beside us
And if we only listen, his voice will lead and guide us

Hear his voice shout from the darkness
Stand strong and be courageous
Be not afraid, neither be dismayed
And to our King's commands we say

Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
He issues his commands and
We will quickly stand to carry out his word
We put our hands to our brows,
We are moving right now
He is our King and we say-ee-ay-ay
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
He is our King and we say yes sir

Attention! (drum)
Fall In! (Drum)
Forward, march! (Drum)
CHARGE!!

Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
He issues his commands and
We will quickly stand to carry out his word
We put our hands to our brows,
We are moving right now
Yes we are guaranteed, to win the victory
Lay aside your doubts and sing

Jesus is our King of kings,
He is the Lord of Lords
We move in obedience
And we will lift up our swords
And by faith we say-ee-ay-ay

Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir
Yes sir, yeh-ee-es sir

He is our King and we say yes sir
