REVEILLE

(def) 1. A morning signal by drum or bugle, notifying soldiers or sailors to rise.
2. The hour at which this signal is sounded.

Roused from sleep
     the bugle sounds
          the light of dawn
               the new day's crown

Called to arms
     my time has come
          to serve my King
               to face the foe
                    protect from harm
                         those near and far

Trained well by life
     I see the goal
          "No greater love hath one"
               lay down his life in sacrifice
                    if but to save one soul

There is but One who's gone ahead
     to show me how it's done
          with His selfless sacrifice
               the victory is won

With lips to bugle my name He calls
     to follow in His steps
          Fear not my friend!
               You're not alone ~ you will not fall
                    when faced against the thrall

Draw your strength from deep within
     for there you find Me Home
          With wings like eagles you'll soar above
               the enemy below

I'm Living proof of covenants filled
     now I promise this ,
          If you do this thing for Me
               there's NOTHING I'll withhold

As My Father once foretold, now I tell you, too
     What's Mine is yours
          forevermore
               just bring My people Home.
