Then and Now: Reinforcements Coming and You Are that Mighty Army

THEN (1996)

Reinforcements Coming

By Rebekah (Pearl) Anast

There is a mighty army
Being trained to stand and fight,
A battlefield of soldiers
Learning what is right.

A Company of warriors
That will boldly take the word
To every tribe and nation
Till every soul has heard.

There is a mighty army,
I’ve seen them everywhere;
Most are wearing diapers
And dragging Teddy Bears.

Infants in the training,
Drilled in right and wrong,
Mom and Dad are making
Soldiers brave and strong.

There is a mighty army
Trained in righteous war,
Cheer them on to victory,
Children of the Lord!

You Are that Mighty Army

By Debi Pearl

There is a mighty army
Now trained to stand and fight,
A battlefield of soldiers
Who has learned what is right.

A Company of warriors
Ready to boldly take the Word
To every tribe and nation
Till every soul has heard.

You are that mighty army,
We’ve watched you being trained;
You’ve been given God’s glorious armor,
Now go in Jesus’ name.

“Preach” was Jesus’ last commandment,
The very heartbeat of God
Is giving folks the gospel
That’s why Jesus bled and died.

Millions are still waiting,
They’re just a click away;
Give to them the gospel
Do it—today!
