How do you fight a war that has already been won?
You don’t.
The world of the flesh wants us to fight.
Nation against nation.
Religion against religion.
Party against party.
Neighbor against neighbor.
Even within ourselves.
It seems we are always searching for another battle.
Another enemy.
Another reason to go to war.
But no man can wage war forever.
Sooner or later…
Hatred begins to resemble the thing it opposes.
The beast knows this…
Growing stronger every time we become consumed by the battles chosen for us.
But what if the enemy has already been defeated?

Lyrics:
War Anthem
E, C, A, E
You think your strength in the numbers
The Lord Himself, will prove you wrong
And now because I am surrounded
My flesh is weak, but the Spirit is strong
But the Spirit is strong
But the Spirit is strong
The harder you're coming at me
The more I see through your cowardly ways
Attrition is what reminds me
That fear is conquered by the spear of the faith
C, D, E
Because my strength is in the Lord
And I live by His Word
I’ll keep on fighting these battles
I’ll keep winning the wars
I may be just a man
I may look all alone
But my ancestors are with me, in the Light of the Lord
In the Light of the Lord
I pray to Lord for surrender
To be erased from your warmonger path
So that you keep coming at me
Until it’s too late, until you’re down to the last
Until you’re down to the last
Until you’re down to the last
C, D, E
Because my strength is in the Lord
And I live by His Word
I’ll keep on fighting these battles
I’ll keep winning the wars
I may be just a man
I may look all alone
But my ancestors are with me, in the Light of the Lord
In the Light of the Lord
In the Light of the Lord
The Lord has already overcome the world.
The victory does not belong to us.
It belongs to Him.
