this is a War

This is a war, and your soul’s on the line

 

To destroy your holy design

Make the choice where life aligns

 

And march straight in the infantry line

In the pages, you’ll find

 

The helmet to guard your mind

Authority to loose or bind

 

Spiritual powers and deeds of their kind.

 

(This is a war) And it’s already won

 

(This is a war) In the blood of the Son

(This is a war) And it can’t be undone

 

Like a shot from a gun!

 

(This is a war) Against the world now maligned

 

(This is a war) And the powers that blind

(This is a war) A generation defined

 

By leaving standards behind

 

This is a war, and you better be ready

 

Eyes straight. Make sure your aim’s steady

Tread light; the landscape is deadly

 

I refuse to be another casualty

 

​Turning my eyes to eternity

Not falling for temporary blasphemies

 

Been stricken by all of my enemies

But I swear, you haven’t seen the last of me

 

Bleeding out the blood of atonement

My sin is erased in a moment

 

The truth sets me free when I come to know it

By faith, I won’t live below it

(This is a war) Now absolved from my crimes

(This is a war) I’m turning back to design

 

(This is a war) Not a creature maligned

Abundant life is mine!
