Through Him I Fight

I feel like I fight all day long
The attack presses in from all sides
I block, deflect, and push them aside
Counter attack, press my advantage
Push to far and get hit again

My soul is strong, but after enough fighting, I get tired
My bruises start to hurt
My limp starts to show
My shoulder starts to drop and I am vulnerable
My enemies see me sweat
I feel the blood from the wound that reopened again
Must remember to protect that
I could get really hurt if that gets worse
My weakness

I press on through a second wind
I regain ground
I fight back
I win this battle only to turn the corner and face another one
More opponents
More enemies
More fighting

I can’t give up
I can only lose if I stop fighting
Must keep fighting
My strength will fail
It is when my strength fails that His lifts me up
My weakness becomes my strength through His mercy for His power is great
I cannot fail for if He is for me then who can be against me
I stand up and I fight
I fight with Him at my side
Helping me dodge
Moving my feet
Guiding my hands as I fight off my enemies
My struggle
My temptations
My fight

I may trip and fall but He helps me back up
I cannot lose unless I stop fighting
Through Him I am strong
Through Him I am victorious
Through Him I fight
