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