The Battle We Fight Daily

Michael E. Wood

August 1, 2012

Upon awakening early Wednesday morning, knowing what my schedule would be like for the day, and not feeling as though I was as well equipped as I would like to be, the following words came to mind.

Oh the joy that we possess now,

Though we feel our sinful strains

And we war by faith to honor

Him who is our King who reigns.

Now the battle we fight daily

Looking to our Sacred Head

For we know that He is living

And we reckon we are dead

To sin which before had bound us

And the law we could not keep

But the power of Gods Spirit

Has now made us human sheep

Of the fold which hears our Master

As He speaks and leads us out

By still waters and green pastures

To lie down in till the shout

Of final vict’ry is then given

To all those who in His train

Rise as those who more than conquer

And with Jesus ever reign!
