Sometimes the troubles of life can feel like a battle that is going on around us. In those times you should remember that God is there right beside us, protecting us and fighting for us. This song is all about trusting in God to fight for us when we need him most. Having that kind of faith in tough times is difficult for frail, fickle human beings like you and I. However, the Bible makes it abundantly clear that God loves us and will be there for us. So use that assurance to face life's battles, knowing that during the hard times, the single set of footprints is actually God carrying you!
Verses for Consideration:
Psalm 18:2-6 ESV
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
Ephesians 6:12 ESV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Lyrics:
This current is trying to wreck me Like castles of sand, castles of sand My fear, like an enemy army Is marching again, but I’m making a stand
You surround me on every side Your love is my armor, I fear no evil Darkness runs from Your light So I won’t be afraid, I won't be afraid
You’re going before me and oceans are parting You’re fighting my battles When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking You’re fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles
Time after time, You’re my refuge You heal every scar, You’re guarding my heart Your promise, the hope that I cling to My rescue, my friend, You come rushing in
And surround me on every side Your love is my armor, I fear no evil Darkness runs from Your light So I won’t be afraid, I won't be afraid
You’re going before me and oceans are parting You’re fighting my battles When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking You’re fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles
In my weakness, You are strong Every trouble, You have overcome In my weakness, You are strong Every trouble, You have overcome In my weakness, You are strong Every trouble, You have overcome You have overcome
You’re going before me and oceans are parting You’re fighting my battles When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking You’re fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles You're fighting my battles
(You're fighting my battles) (You're fighting my battles)
