I Won Battles for You

The battle I was loosing, temptation took its toll,

I couldn't find the strength any more to hold.

Grasped by the enemy I had failed again,

Exhausted, I gave up, and was seized away from Him. 

Willingly I followed, in slavery to sin,

Never, I felt, could I gaze on him again. 

Yet, while I held the enemy,

While there was no good in me,

When I had failed Him again,

He won the battle for me;

He slew my enemies;

He lifted my face to His and said, 

"Even through rejection, I held you in my palm.

"Even when you felt alone, I was helping you along.

"Because I loved you fist, even when you stopped;

"Because I held you still, even when fires got hot;

"Because I am Alfa, omega, I Am Who I Am;

"Because I am Living Love, I will rescue you again."

"And because I'm more than you could ever dream,

"Let me lift you again; let's be more than a team."

Oh, what a proposal, so glorious it seems,

That you can speak this covenant, and hand me the ring!

I have failed so many times, I know I can't stop.

But your voice surrounds again, shattering those ugly thoughts. 

For while I held the enemy,

While there was no good in me,

When I had failed Him again,

He won the battle for me;

He slew my enemies;

He lifted my face to His and said, 

"Even through rejection, I held you in my palm.

"Even when you felt alone, I was helping you along.

"Because I loved you first, even when you stopped;

"Because I held you still, even when fires got hot;

"Because I am the Alfa, the omega, I Am Who I Am;

"Because I am living love, I will rescue you again."

"I'll fulfill your every need, when I hold you you'll be freed,

"I meet every desire, I can lift your spirits higher!

"You can cry on my shoulder; you can sit on my knee.

"You can love me like you have never loved before!

"I fill every crevice, and mend every hole,

"Let me inhabit you, I will bring life to your soul."

"Even when you slip to sin,

"And to the enemy again,

"Whether or not you fight through,

"I will win your battles for you,

"I will slay your enemies,

"Just, hold on to me again!"

I can't resist you any more, too you I will open up this door.

Take me with you, Lord, I plead. Consume me with joy, abundantly!

Jesus, Jesus, make me whole, play my life's leading role.

Lord, fill every crevice, mend my every hole.

Be my guide, surround me, inhabit my soul.
