Prepare for the Fight

A Ballad

I

Soldiers of God prepare for the fight;
The time has come to declare God's might. Soldiers -- beware!
Accept the dare--
Be not ashamed — and don't take flight.
        Chorus:  Zechariah 4:6
                  It's not by might
                  Nor by your power,
                  But by my spirit says the Lord;
                  No it's not by might
                  Nor by your power,
                  But it's by my spirit says the Lord.
We're called to declare the Word of grace
The Word made flesh -- who showed His face,

II

Two thousand  years   ago
The Bible tells us so,
This  sphere called earth felt God’s embrace.
(CHORUS)
Set your mind to defend the gospel plan
Endure all hardness hurled against man,

III

The power to stand fast
Is within our grasp
So prepare for the fight with a sanctified stand.
                 (CHORUS)
Divine intervention is on our side

IV

Within the might of God — we do abide.
Faith is the key
To victory
Be encouraged in your souls -- let peace reside.
                 (CHORUS)
All dominion  belongs  to  us
When  we  obey  -- here   is  what  God  does,

V

He demonstrates,
The  devil  shakes,
They can't comprehend just how God loves.
                            (CHORUS)
So accept the challenge  — stand in faith,
Receive the sword  — display God's grace;

VI

The spiritual fruit
Are the soldier's suit
So advance courageously and protect your place.
                 (CHORUS)
                 Zechariah 4:6
                 It’s not by might
                 Nor by your power;
                 But by my spirit says the Lord;
                 No it’s not by might
                 Nor by your power,
                 But it’s by my spirit says the Lord.
