my previous post omitted that the whole line needs to be "the ever watchful air the cry" meaning the ever watchful shout out "Another Soldier Down."

The line "air to cry" or "ere the cry" as listed in various lyric sites is incorrect. "Air" is an archaic word meaning to shout out or exclaim loudly, or merely to pronounce publicly. The word "cry" is also being used archaically, meaning a shouted phrase or slogan, as in "battle cry." The line in the song is "air the cry."

what an inspired song, thanks ISAACS

GOD BLESS THE WRITER

Anybody ever hear these lyrics??

It was really good to see you on the red eye, last night
I didn't want to bother you, so I waited 'til the time was right
Blew you a kiss hello and mouthed the words I love you
But when you acted like you didn't know me
I thought my heart would break in two

You were such a warrior when we fought side by side
Steady moving up the ranks, I bragged about you all the time
Everybody's hero but you gave up the fight
Now what I see is another soldier down

Another soldier down, needing us to pray instead of laughing at the situation
and looking the other way
Another soldier down, someone we can't afford to lose
Let's make a vow not to let another soldier down

What a lyrics, God bless you the writer.

What a song! I'm sure it was dedicated to missionaries in far away lands
Those who have laid down their lives to make Christ known.
"There remaineth a rest unto the people of God". Praise His name.

Absolutely a beautiful Christian song. Every day we are challenged by Satan, in a continual battle known as Spiritual Warfare. Ephesians 6 reminds us that we are to put on our shield and Sword., to fight against Satan. Having been a military soldier in Combat., we never leave a soldier behind. I compare this analogy to Spiritual Warfare. We should always pick up a fellow Christian when they are feeling injured or down. One of my favorite Christian songs. Glory be to our Savior.

This is a great song. It reminds us that we are in a fight day by day against the enemy, the Devil, but also reminds us that we should be ever mindful and in prayer for other saints around us that they do not fall. We should be encouragers and exhorters in the Lord. Thanks for posting! I have been looking for the words, and I LOVE the Isaacs singing it! Not the first time I ever heard it, but they do an awesome job of it.

Yes Guest, I believe your words are the correct ones.
