The battle lines are drawn, Satan's instigated war,
He longs to regain territory occupied before.
Our enemy is prowling, he's seeking to devour,
We wrestle not with flesh but principalities and pow'rs.
We must be on our guard, alert in our watchtower,
For Satan in his wiles will appear in an unknown hour.
He's no match for heavenly arms in God's arsenal,
To fight the battles in the realm of supernatural.
God's given us His Spirit, the power of His Word,
Heaven's armies stand available at call we're assured.
Now at the Name of Jesus, Satan's demons will flee,
They can't resist the power that's released on bended knee.
No, I will not surrender one ounce of sod, you see,
He'll never get a foothold or reclaim a part of me.
The battle rages on and Satan maintains the fight,
Yet he's no match for the One who's the awesome God of Might.
I will not surrender, no matter how hot the fray,
I will wear my suit of armor and daily I will pray;
The helmet of salvation, the belt of truth I'll wear,
And the sword of His Spirit I'll take with me everywhere.
With my breastplate of righteousness secured in its place,
I'll withstand each fiery dart protected by God's grace.
I will not surrender, Satan's lost his fight with me,
For now I belong to the Lord for all eternity.
"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm" (Ephesians 6:11-12).
