Fight for the Victory Sarah Schexnayder Based on Ephesians 6:11-17
It seems the time has come again, To practice what I preach. Will I cling to light in darkness? Will I stand to fill the breach? Will I claim the peace I’m offered – Though pressed to grief and tears? Will I claim that joyous Victory, Though I’ve not tasted it here? It’s time to plant my feet, In lighted path, though dark surrounds, And face with Truth, once more, The lies that wish to make me bound. The shield I hold which keeps me safe, Is His Faith to believe – And quench the barbs of fears, Sent by spirits to deceive. This helmet shields my mind, And sits as grace upon my head, Salvation crowns me – granted By the life my Captain led. This sword by which I wage this war Pierces to the heart, Divides the spirits by the Truth, And tears strongholds apart.
Righteousness of my Captain, Raised in Victory above, Rests over my heart, Protects it, in His brilliant way of Love. I must be clothed with this. If Hell’s assaults I am to weather, For lies would pierce my armor’s joints, But Truth holds all together. And as I plant my feet On lighted path to fight this day,
I know my steps must travel, To help show others The Way. To tell to every creature, That the Victory is won! My Captain leads the Battle; And He has overcome! So by His power and wisdom, Though in grief we may yet be, I fight toward my prize, To claim our Final Victory!
