Encouraging song

Growing up I listened to Ron Kenoly with my mom and sister while driving to school everyday. I recently downloaded him again onto my iPod, and this song has been a great comfort while over here.

“The Battle is the Lord’s” by Ron Kenoly

When the mighty men

From the tribe of Judah
Faced the enemy
They were told by God
Not to be afraid
He would give the victory
He said lift up a song
And lay down the sword
For the battle is mine
Says the Lord
Sing unto the Lord
Make a joyful sound
Lift your voices
And let your praise resound
Sing a victory song
In the time of war
Trust in Jesus
The battle is the Lord’s
When the evil one
Comes against you
To fill your heart with fear
You can trust in God
He will never leave you
He promised to be near
You can lift up a song
In the midst of the war
For the battle is mine
Says the Lord
For the Lord is good
And his mercy endureth forever
For the Lord is good
And his mercy endureth forever
Forever and everT
he battle is the Lord’s
