When I'm broken from the battle, and I've lost another round

Satan whispers to my troubled mind, just lay your armor down

There are those you’ve loved and trusted; look around you, they're all gone

It would be easy to surrender, when you're standing all alone

Then I bowed my head in sadness, as I pondered what to do

I've been in God's army for so long and I've been a soldier true

Then I hear a voice from heaven saying pilgrim, it is I

Lift your head and take new courage: turn your eyes toward the sky

And I see a great band of angels camped all around me

And I see the captain rising up, the challenge to meet

And I know I'm safe from all harm when I'm touching Jesus

Oh, yes, for the battle is His, the victory is mine and victory is sweet

Oh, and I see a great band of angels camped all around me

And I see the captain rising up, the challenge to meet

Oh, and I know I'm safe from all harm when I'm touching Jesus

Oh, yes, for the battle is His, and the victory is mine and victory is sweet

Oh, the battle is His, and the victory is mine and victory is sweet
