Thanks for the Battle

Be thankful for the fighting,

For it means you’re still alive!

Take courage from the battle,

God will give you strength to strive.

For when Satan gives me rest

From the struggles of the day,

I quickly start to worry

That I’ve left the narrow way.

God gave not an easy life

Without danger, toil or care,

He gave me holy armour

That I might His triumph share.

The evil one is mighty,

Cunning and wicked is he.

So if I’m catching his attention

God must be working still in me.

Yes, I’m thankful for the fighting,

And the crashing battle din,

It means I’m in the battle,

And my Saviour’s going to win!
