“Battles” Lyrics
This current is trying to wreck me / Like castles of sand / Castles of sand
My fear like an enemy army / Is marching again / But I’m making a stand
You surround me on every side / Your love is my armor I fear no evil
Darkness runs from your light / So I won’t be afraid / I won’t be afraid
Chorus
You’re going before me / And oceans are parting / You’re fighting my battles
When my feet are failing / And my heart is shaking
You’re fighting my battles / You’re fighting my battles
You’re fighting my battles / You’re fighting my battles
Time after time you’re my refuge / You heal every scar
You’re guarding my heart / Your promise, the hope that I cling to
My rescue, my friend / You come rushing in
And surround me on every side / Your love is my armor I fear no evil
Darkness runs from your light / So I won’t be afraid / Won’t be afraid
In my weakness you are strong
Every trouble you have overcome
good reminder
God bless you all ! “Battles” is awesome! Gives me strength when I hear this song!
