The Battle Has Been Heavy

Words Only

The battle has been heavy
And you are weary from the fight
You cannot go on any more
You want to give up your sword and shield
And let the consequences come

But then there comes the sweetest sound
A voice that is tender yet strong
He’s wooing you by his gentle love
And urging you to rise up again
To finish the fight for Him

I will never leave you He whispers in your ear
I have loved you with an everlasting love
I’ve put my arms around you always
And though you have not known
I have been there all along
So rise up now my child
Pick up your sword and fight
And I will carry you through to victory now
