Strength for the Battle

Verse 1 I hear the sound of battle rising But I will not run away The Lord who stands beside me Has trained my hands today He girds me with His power He steadies every stride When darkness comes against me The Lord is on my side Chorus You armed me with strength for the battle You made my enemies bow down You lifted my head in the struggle You placed my feet on solid ground I will not fear the fight before me I will not tremble at the sound You armed me with strength for the battle And in Your name, I stand my ground Verse 2 Not by my own courage Not by the strength I claim But by the God who saves me And the power of His name You teach me to keep standing You teach my heart to trust When weapons rise against me You turn them into dust Chorus You armed me with strength for the battle You made my enemies bow down You lifted my head in the struggle You placed my feet on solid ground I will not fear the fight before me I will not tremble at the sound You armed me with strength for the battle And in Your name, I stand my ground Bridge The Lord is my defender The Lord is my song The Lord is my victory When the war is long He strengthens me with power He covers me with grace Every foe must surrender When I seek His face Vamp Strength for the battle Grace for the fight Power in the darkness Victory in the light Strength for the battle Faith in my soul God is my refuge He makes me whole Final Chorus You armed me with strength for the battle You made my enemies bow down You lifted my head in the struggle You placed my feet on solid ground I will not fear the fight before me I will not tremble at the sound You armed me with strength for the battle And in Your name, I stand my ground Outro You armed me with strength You taught me to stand The battle belongs to You My life is in Your hands.
