Fight On!
The War we fight is a Spiritual one,
Fought with the Sword of the Word,
Not a gun.
Its soldiers are all those who believe,
And unto the Cross of Christ do so cleave,
To save them from the awful Foe.
The flesh, the Devil and this world of woe.
To bring us to the Final Goal.
The victory in Christ, Who did Death overthrow,
Assures us a place at His heavenly throne,
Where we will be given, all crowns of gold,
And live with Him in wondrous peace,
Our bodies made perfect,
From Sin's chains released,
And given the rest for us HE has earned,
Where wisdom and knowledge of things never learned,
Will all be ours, for what HE has done.
Use the Sword of the Word,
And fight on, Fight on!
