I Will Stand Up To My Golieths: No More Excuses

I will stand up to my golieths 
no more excuses will I make
I will face down my circumstances 
No matter what it takes

We are living in troubled times 
hatred is abound
Mass killings has become a fad
Racism is on the rebound 
We are facing our golieths 
Life's challenges have been thrown down 
We need to stand up, no more excuses 
Its time to hold our ground 

It matters not the weapons nor the words
Coming at you the Lord is on your side
Don't worry about the time nor the place
Your faith will protect your hide
Don't fret about what you see before you
Don't walk just by sight
Its time to face your fears
By walking in God's light
For the battle is not just yours
God is always in the mix
Be anxious over nothing
As there's nothing He can't fix

When the enemy comes at God's children
We Christians comprehend 
We are not fighting the battle alone 
Nor against mere men
Principalities seen and unseen
The Holy Spirit is in battle mode
As we stand up to our golieths 
Its time to lock and load
God will always sustain us 
He will have our backs
And no weapon formed against us
Can prosper nor distract

Walking by faith and not by sight
Knowing I am not alone in this fight
I now take up my mantle of leadership
Wielding not a sword but just my belief
I now stand up to my golieths
No more excuses and no defeat
