So often in my life I’ve taken up a cause
With anger and frustration at man’s sinful flaws
Only to be defeated and find the battle lost
Forgetting that sin’s war was won upon the cross
The Devil thrusts and parries wearing evil’s grin
Knowing if you fight alone – you’re giving in to sin
Though your soul belongs to God – attacks can make you weak
Useless in our witness – the pleasure Satan seeks
Man cannot win the fight with Satan by himself
This war ‘s won down on your knees – your Bible off the shelf
The LORD said He’d fight for you – so give Him the honor
Stand firm with the Shield of Faith – safe in God’s Armor
Dueling with the Devil is not the job of man
The battle ‘s fought with the Sword that sits at God’s right hand
Jesus is the Living Word – the Holy Spirit’s Sword
Sin and death were vanquished by Christ the Risen LORD
