She’s a great and mighty warrior
without the sword and spear
Her weapon is the sword of the Spirit
That’s what the enemies fear
She’s a tender warrior in times of battle
Who fights with a gentle touch
All the strength of her great Commander
whom she’s come to love so much
A tender warrior who inspires her troop
With her gentle loving way
Who prevails in her own secret battle
that she fights everyday
Weapons of warmth and compassion
Coals of fire are lent
To the weary fighting soldier
At the front lines from her are sent
Bread to hungry comrades
The tender warrior brings
And fills them a-new with courage
As the fight song she sweetly sings
So renewed we return to battle
Inspired by the faithful one
The tender warrior who tells us
Our battle-it will be won
