Matthew Easler - Victory March Ukulele tab

	  
 
     G          C             D                G 
We march on in hope, and we march toward the prize. 
     C               G             Em         D 
We press on in the narrow way to glory up on high. 
     C            D             Em   G    C 
We fight, and we hope, and we laugh and feast, 
      C                    G                   Em     D      G 
The victr'y march of the Church of Christ all hell cannot defeat. 


 
      G               C          D                G 
Our mission for the earth, our mission giv'n of Christ, 
   C             G               Em               D 
Is go to evr'y heathen land proclaiming that He died, 
     C    D       Em   G   C 
Yet now again He lives to reign. 
    C                 G               Em    D       G 
To win the world back to Himself we baptize in His name. 


      G             C         D            G 
All Satan and his hosts, all hell and its fire 
     C               G                        Em              D 
Do line themselves against the Church as she marches thus inspired 
          C              D           Em    G   C 
Yet the promise of our Lord is they won't prevail 
    C             G              Em       D         G 
For He is with us to the end, so all His foes must fail. 

 
      G           C        D                  G 
The kings of the earth, against the Lord now plot. 
       C              G                Em              D 
They tear down our memorial stones in hopes to see us rot, 
      C             D            Em        G      C 
But Christ is the stone on which all the Temple rests, 
    C                G            Em          D      G 
So all our hope is safe above in heav'n where He is set. 

 
        G               C         D            G 
Their altar they have made to sacrifice our young 
       C                   G              Em                    D 
With poisoned steel their blade is aimed into their hearts to plunge, 
    C            D       Em   G     C 
Yet we will not give the heritage away, 
    C                    G               Em          D       G 
For we will guard our children's hearts against the sinners' way. 

 
      G            C        D                 G 
Come see all the lands of earth now fight in war. 
      C                 G                  Em                D 
What hope of peace now has the world, so bloodied, ravaged, torn? 
     C          D          Em  G    C 
And who will proclaim the word of peace, 
      C                   G           Em       D        G 
That all the tribes be reconciled to live in Christ as free. 

 
     G            C            D               G 
See here on the street, poor sinners line the way. 
        C               G               Em          D 
Their hungry souls, afflicted much, in broken pity lay. 
     C             D           Em  G   C 
Now what is their hope, their balm of life, 
    C                    G              Em     D    G 
If not the Christian's healing word of Jesus' sacrifice? 

 
        G           C          D               G 
Though many be our foes and sharpened be the sword 
       C                  G              Em                 D 
That glids the necks of valient men who shout redemption's word 
     C            D       Em     G   C 
And many be the cries of souls oppressed, 
      C             G                 Em        D       G 
Yet still advancing is the word that brings to all men rest. 


Outro: 
         C           D          Em      G         C 
Though great be our toil, yet greater still our prize. 
          C                  G                      Em         D        G 
Through hunger, suffering, flame, and loss, Christ wins His purchased Bride.
