BATTLE CRY
written by Gail Batton - #97 - Thursday - 11/11/93 - 11:18 p.m.
I am weak for I am small - in the battle with the devil
But I have an armor - to protect me
And I am not alone - you see
On my head, protecting my mind - I wear my salvation
Daily, minute by minute - Saving me from my very own thoughts
Over my heart I wear a plate - Righteousness - purity
Protecting  me, true - the laws of God inscribed within
My heart is protected - without - within
My loins - my strength - my virtue is pure
Protected by truth - Thy Word is Truth - Thy name is true
Thy gospel of salvation is true
My path is set by  the gospel of peace
Protecting from falls - protecting from snares
I hold up firmly  a shield before
Faith to defy any attack against me
Sickness is healing - when faith is held strong
Destitution is wealth - for faith cannot lie
Needs are provisions - I cannot fail
Faith protects from all attacks - Thy Word is a Sword to attack
All else protects - but Thy Word goes forth
It will not return unto Thee void
It slices through all evil - it pierces to the core
God, oh, God - dress me I pray
In the armor to protect - against the evil of this day
I need help, oh, Lord - please not by might, not by power
But, by Thy Spirit I pray - guide me so I do not fail
Charge Your angels to help me - I pray
Oh, God, once I was evil - of mind, heart, and deed
Lord, protect me - I pray - lest I e'er turn astray
God - I love you - oh, truly I do
I cannot see you - but, I know that You are
Have mercy on me - for I am but dust
I hunger and struggle - I battle each moment
Alone, oh, Lord God - alone I am in war
Help me so I do not sin - help me so to Heaven I shall win
Lord, God, You alone are my salvation
Save me, oh, Lord, save me even from my very own self.
