The Battle

This world is the battlefield between evil and good
We are on the Lord's side, so to fight we should
The battle will be over when we hear the trumpet sound
What a glorious day will be when the saints gather round

His Holy Spirit will guide us, though often tossed and torn
He will lead us through our pilgrim way after being reborn
We must follow his leading as we walk the straight and narrow way
And be careful not to love this world and in heaven treasures lay

Help us remember the day you rescued us from hell
And go to a poor lost world and to the gospel tell
May we ever do your will as we go through many a test
And when we are often weary to lean upon thy breast
