THE BATTLE
by Janet Rose Martin

In my darkest hour
When everything's at its worst
That's when I must remember
To always put God first.

So I call upon my Father
So that I am not alone
For I cannot fight the enemy
In any way on my own.

The battle is not mine to fight
So I call upon my Defender
Knowing He is on my side
I can let myself surrender.

Satan is no match for Christ
He will surely be defeated
And Christ will be the victor
When the battle is,completed.

For now, the battle's over
And the Lord has won the fight
Allowing me to carry on
Through His courage and His might.
