Battle Lines

Today the battle is on

The fighting is fierce

My enemy is cunning and strategic

Help me to not fight alone

Or rely on my own strength, wisdom, power and might

May I have the victory in Christ alone

Before the battle begins let me prepare my mind

Thoughts taken captive in obedience to Christ

The victory will begin with praise and thanksgiving

Through this battle

May You be glorified, honored and praised

When the evening falls may I stand victorious in Christ
