The Battle of the Cross

Why the torment, sorrow and pain?
Didn't you know, Jesus didn't die in vain!
He died for US!!!

He was ripped apart, beaten, and mocked
So that door to the Father was no longer locked
He loved us while we did it, and loves us now
He's not mocked, we reap what we saw

He rose from death to ascend on high,
He never had to tell us good-bye
The Holy Spirit is with us now, and forevermore
We're stronger now than ever before!

Don't turn away, and please don't sway
Jesus said that He's coming back one day
Will you be ready? Will you be hopeful?
Jesus asked if He would find any faithful

So put on our armor and pick up the cross,
We will not, and cannot suffer a loss
Heed the call, and hold on tight!
We're called to battle, and we shall fight!

No armor in back, no room to run
We fight our battles using no gun
The battle wages on until that day,
But let's be faithful, and obey

But who will fight to the death,
Proclaiming Jesus' name to the final breath?
