Steadfast is a Latin-Rock, Contemporary Christian Song inspired by Psalm 108:1 and my years serving in the Military. The intro has a mysterious, suspenseful vibe and the bridge has a powerful rock guitar solo. This is an anthem, Latin rock ballad, with attitude. It’s almost 2 songs combined with the intro good for a suspense scene and the rock solo good for a chase or fight scene.
(Verse 1) I am on the battlefield for my Lord, Pressing upward, pressing onward, To a great and high reward. I am devoted to you calling, yes my Lord. Your faithfulness gives confidence, I give allegiance in this war.
(Chorus) (Steadfast) I am a soldier of the Lord. (Steadfast) Mighty warrior with my sword. (Steadfast) Pressing on to my reward. I am marching on the Zion, You better believe it! I am so steadfast!
(Verse 2)
I will stand up and be counted for my Lord.
There is victory, You will conquer,
Just as you’ve done before.
I accept you for your faithful, yes my Lord,
The battles is not yet over,
But You’ve all ready won the war.
(Bridge – Guitar Solo) Oh………(vocal slide)
(Chorus) (Steadfast) I am a soldier of the Lord. (Steadfast) Mighty warrior with my sword. (Steadfast) Pressing on to my reward. I am marching on the Zion, Yeah
(End Tag) (Wo wo steadfast, marchin, marchin, marchin, we are so steadfast) I’m Steadfast! (I said steadfast) I am marching on the Zion, you better believe it (you better believe) I am so steadfast (marchin, marchin, marchin, you better believe) You better believe it I am so steadfast!
Steadfast was originally supposed to be a Latin grove replacing one of the songs I took off the In Spirit and Truth project. The Lord gave me Steadfast inspired from Psalm 108:1, A psalm of David (my distant Great-Grandfather) that says. “My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul…”
Production Notes
When Doug heard the demo he immediately felt a rock-n-roll song so he combined a classic rock feel and the Latin piano and we were excited. Doug recommended Mike Stewart to do a killer guitar solo during the bridge. Then Doug heard all kinds of fun and strong back-up vocals which really finished the song off. The words are inspired by all my years of military service and my service for the Lord. I am proudly serving in the Army of the Lord! When you serve God there is victory and He will conquer!
