[Verse 1] I stand beneath the sacred wing Where no dark arrow flies The night is thick with unseen blades Yet still my spirit cries [Pre-Chorus] Because you know My holy name I will lift you from the snare The fowler’s net is torn in two I am the shield you wear [Verse 2] I hear the nations gathering The valley calls for blood My hands are empty, Lord, but Yours Have never known the flood Proclaim this among the nations now Consecrate yourselves for war Stir up the mighty men I made Let every soldier reach My door [Chorus] Proclaim this among the nations Prepare the war Wake the mighty men Let the men of war draw near Let them come up Let them come up Consecrate the war The Lord of Hosts [Bridge] I consecrate this flesh for war I am the Lord of Hosts. Draw near. (DRAW NEAR) Beat plowshares into sharpened steel! The weak shall stand and say, “I am strong.” We march beneath no earthly king! You march beneath My outstretched wing. The darkness howls, the banners tear! Yet I am with you. I am there. [Chorus] Proclaim this among the nations Prepare the war Wake the mighty men Let the men of war draw near Let them come up Let them come up Consecrate the war The Lord of Hosts [Outro] I stand beneath the sacred wing! I lift you from the snare! Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth The battle is the Lord’s.
