Blessing In Disguise


'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. 
For the battle is not yours, but God's.
2 Chron.20:15

his daughter, powerfully and beautifully sang this song...




The battle is the blessing 
Not by trophy’s reward 
But by our hearts confessing 
All honour to the Lord 

How oft the battle pains us 
Yet it is not for naught 
For when life’s struggle drains us 
We find the strength we ought 

Not by our faulty merit 
Do we gain victory 
But by the Holy Spirit 
Christ works through you and me 

If we put on God’s armour 
Then we will be equipped 
To withstand Evil’s Charmer 
And wiles, 'luringly-dipped 

So do not fear the terror 
When foes of faith increase 
But rather fear the error 
If the battle should cease 

Dear Soldier, fight Faith’s rival 
For He who remains true 
The battle is the channel 
That Christ’s power flows through
