The battle, Lord, we fight.
Against the lie and for the right.
We care not how the costs may grow.
Only Your glory we seek to show.
We fight for Your name’s sake.
Though all our resources it may take.
We fight in love for God’s only Son.
We fight for the honor of the blessed One.
The works of man’s hand we do disdain.
We on ourselves bring only shame.
Only grace and mercy freely given,
Saves from the death for which we’ve striven.
Forgive me when I rude may be,
Thinking Your glory depends on me.
As if my fight alone Your glory sustains.
As if only in me Your praise remains.
Indeed, the fight is only Thine,
You alone cause Your glory to shine.
A thankful heart to me,please give,
Humbly in Your presence let me live.
