Yield
A soldier may be called upon to fight out on the field
Of battle where they volunteer their all for peace to yield
To give their life for family to keep them safe at home
A sacrifice not understood by those who seek their own
But soldiers are not always those in uniform away
Sometimes they're in a closet fighting battles as they pray
With hoards of unseen forces who are fighting for the souls
Of people who have not a clue they are the devil's goals
To bring down to destruction on that subtle battlefield
Confusing truth with error as to selfishness they yield
Their hearts and minds not knowing it is all the devil's plan
To wipe away creation and the image placed in man
The image of the Father with the Spirit and the Son
That from our first inception was designed to make us one
One with God in His image in His purpose and His plan
As He breathed His own Spirit through His lips into the man
He formed of clay with His hands for the Garden that He made
The Garden where He placed him where the creatures lived and played
In joyous pure tranquility as they were made to do
Until as on a battlefield their time of peace was through
As Eve took on temptation she was not equipped to fight
Temptation from the devil and the enemy of Light
And fell to His first conquest leading Adam there as well
That destined all creation to destructive fires of hell
But grace from God brought mercy from that seat above the Law
That seat of God's pure holiness the angels watch in awe
And offered them salvation through the promise of the Lamb
The blood of God's own Sacrifice Who is the great I AM
But only if they yielded everyday upon the field
Of battle with the devil all to God they had to yield
And let His Holy Spirit be through them the conquering One
To bring the Light to darkness through the brilliance of God's Son
That soon will end the battles when in glory He returns
And brings peace to the fallen who for holiness now yearn
And willingly give all they have and all they hope to be
To Him Who in our mighty God Who rules eternity
2 Chronicles 32:7-8; Romans 8:35-39; Ephesians 6:10-13
