Steadfast

Empowered
by Your grace
we raise our heads
and face
the scavenger of death,
the hissing
of sin personified.
No longer lambs,
we stand
with the Lion of Judah -
You.
Your LIFE transfuses
this weary flesh,
these dry bones;
Your Spirit calls us
to raise the sword
and engage this war.
Covered in Your armor,
we tread forward
with confidence
in Your presence
to win back these souls
that are lost,
to see others rise
to the call,
to form the Body
You created us
to be.
Victory rings
with certainty
through our very beings
as You advance
Your army.
Nothing can stand
before the sovereignty
of Your crown,
our King,
our Lord,
our God.
