I'm surrounded by skirmishes

Blood is ankle deep

Comrades who gave up the fight

Comrades who are still fighting

My friends who grow weary from the shadow of battle

Demons who think they can slaughter God's children

Like wolfs that devour sheep in the night

But these sheep were given swords

I'm sick of shouting to people I love like brothers

DON'T GIVE UP!!

DON'T LET HIM WIN!!

DON'T YOU DARE LET THE DEVIL WIN!!

My brothers gave their lives to the cause of Christ

Yet I'm surrounded by brothers and sisters like me

Who are so plagued by sin and the darkness that we wish we could just pull the trigger and let it all end

Yet it wouldn't end

I refuse to give the devil a chance to get what he wants

First because I love my God and others here on earth

Second because I've got streak of stubbornness that doesn't give up ground souly out of spite

I will not throw away a gift others died for

Brothers and sisters

GOD GAVE YOU A SWORD PICK IT UP AND SWING!!

Yes there's a war raging and you are called to arms

Don't let Satan get what he wants to take when Jesus has so much he wants to give

Pick up that Bible and read

I know sometimes it's hard

I struggle too

I've been where you're at and it's at those times

I remember the Holy Ghost lives in me

Jesus already won the war and the devil wants to create an illusion of his victory

God the Father stands watch over me and he put the sword in my hand

The Holy Ghost gave me the spirit of courage

GOD GAVE US THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT SO PICK UP THAT SWORD AND FIGHT LIKE YOU'VE NEVER MOVED BEFORE!!

SLASH THROUGH THE ILLUSIONS!!

STAB THROUGH THE TEMPTATIONS

BASH THROUGH THE TRIALS

ACCEPT CHRIST INTO YOUR SOUL AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP YOU WHEN HE IS WITH YOU!!!

The battle is raging all around

But we aren't fighting for victory

You see Jesus already won on the cross

We merely fight from the victory
