There is a battle raging all around me,
    Angels, unseen guard my soul.
Over the wiles of the evil one,
    They have God’s power and control.

Jesus’ blood has covered me, to keep me safe and free,
    The chains of darkness and sin can no longer hinder me.

Oh Blessed Lord, may I ever look to Thee,
    Have the courage to stand for the right and true
To serve You and raise Your banner high,
    In everything I do.

Someday as I patiently wait, I will see You face to face,
    Oh, to be with You, in that Divine Hour

To live and reign with You,
    In the light of Your love and Power.
