The Battle Belongs to God

You've fought. You've cried. You've stood your ground

But this battle, this one is not yours to carry

It belongs to the Lord. So lift your hands, not your fists

Let worship be your weapon

And let God take the field

I've run out of strength. I've reached my end

But that's where His glory begins

I laid down my weapons, picked up praise

Now I'm walking in victorious grace

Mountains move and giants fall

When night stops driving and heat is cold

He goes before. He stands behind

The battle's His. The peace is mine

The battle belongs to God. I will not fear

He's fighting for me. His presence is near

Though storms may rise and voices scream

He holds the field. He reigns supreme

The battle belongs to God. I rest in Him

My song is my sword. My praise is my win

I lift my hands. I trust His rod

The battle belongs to God

I've seen walls fall with just a shout

I've watched the Lord turn battles around

When I worship, heaven moves

He makes a way. He breaks through

I don't need to understand

I just stand and lift my hands

His angels fight. His fire burns

Every evil tide He turns

No weapon fought will ever stand

When God Himself holds my hand

I won't retreat. I won't pretend

The Lord is mighty to defend

The battle belongs to God. I rest in Him

My song is my sword. My praise is my win

I lift my hands. I trust His rod

The battle belongs to God

You don't fight for victory. You fight from it

Because the one who called you is the one who conquers for you

The battle belongs to God. And He never loses
