Part-Time Soldier    Andy Rayner

I'm tired of being a part time soldier
A hesistant volunteer
Every now and again my heart gets bolder
But my life just shows the fear
And I wander around in circles
Of friends who think I'm ever so keen
The Lord see my face in its sunday place
He sees nothing in between

Every hour every minute
No less than you deserve
Cos you weren’t a part time saviour
When you came down to earth
Every hour every minute
Every thought and every word
All my life is a small price
For the best love in the world


I've served on the right committees
Had the old folks 'round for tea
I've talked to friends about spiritual ends
But it really hasn't been me
I've read my way though the Bible
And I can talk about Heaven and Hell
But If the truth is known when
My friends go home I say goodbye to you as well

I don't know what I can offer you
But I intend to go full time
Every promise I make I'll probably break
But you know I'll really be trying
And I can feel your power rise in me
Like the wind sends the waves 'cross the sea
As I throw off the past than held me fast
I know l'll set your Sprit free
