Stay On the Battlefield
The disciple Paul said to remain steadfast while waiting for the return of Christ
He said to hold yourself sober and upright and dwell in God's light
Today when I look at society I am somewhat dismayed
That we are in a spiritual battle each and every day
Fighting against principalities seen and unseen
Wrestling with immoral behaviour and ideologies down right mean
Divide and conquer is the Adversary's strategic battle plan
We need to stay on the battlefield side by side, hand in hand
We are at war fighting against rampant evilness
We need to stay steadfast knowing that we are blessed
For if we seek first the kingdom of God we will come to find
The righteousness, the grace and the mercy that Jesus left behind
And when we put on the breastplate of hope and love and the helmet of salvation
We are now prepared to engage the enemy and fight for the duration
We need to love each other, lift each other up, to be encouraging and respect all
For these are the weapons we will use to make the enemy fall
So stay on the battlefield fighting for truth and your spiritual life
And remember the battle is not just yours
it also belongs to our Saviour Jesus the Christ
