The Conflict and The Victory
The reason why so many know so little of the Lord
The King of all creation Who by angels is adored
The One Who spoke from heaven and made earth a home for man
Is simply based upon one thing that all must understand
You see there is a conflict going on for you and me
A conflict among angels and the beings we can't see
Who battle every moment for the hearts and souls of men
To either save us from ourselves or chain us to our sins
And in this mighty battle subtle though at times it seems
The good that battles evil with its subtlety and schemes
The choices and decisions that approach us everyday
Determine if we will be faithful or be swept away
By lies and dark delusions from the enemy of souls
Who daily works from every angle to achieve his goals
From those who openly deny that God even exists
To those who stand in pulpits preaching long exhaustive lists
But somewhere in the middle hidden from the public's view
Are those who soon will come to light for all they say and do
Allowing God's true Spirit to command them from within
To live the Light that will convict humanity of sin
And will reveal God's purpose in the giving of His Son
Not just of our salvation but to make us all as one
With Him in Truth and glory that the universe might see
The power of the blood of Christ that flowed on Calvary
That makes us more than conquerors by His almighty grace
Equipping us for battle daily through that living faith
That was exemplified on earth when Christ was living here
Recorded in the scriptures that His Spirit has made clear
If we will read them daily praying as we meet God there
The way Christ did before us as recorded in His prayer
Exalting Him Who is our God and trusting Him to be
The One Who lives within us giving us the victory
That is to be our passport through the gates to our new Home
Where safe within God's arms of love our thoughts will never roam
Back to these days of battle as the enemy will be
Forever gone and vanquished by God's grace through you and me
Isaiah 9:2-7; Romans 8:35-39; Ephesians 6:10-18
