The Battlefield

by no name

June 22, 2001

We are in the midst of war.
The battlefield is our minds.
Our thoughts are the soldiers,
Wounded lying everywhere,
upon the cold ground.
Standing, watching in hopelessness,
for it seems there is no chance
of victory.
No end of death in sight.
Our enemies as though getting stronger
with each advancing step.
Fighting endlessly, day and night.
Wounded and weary, we want to just
lay down and surrender.

But don't give up so quickly!
Listen for the battle call,
the voice of the Lord.
Stand firm, stand strong.
Put on the armor given you,
pick up your weapons and fight.
His words are truth and powerful,
and to which our enemies cannot stand.
God will give us victory,
if we endure the fight.
Have faith we will win this war,
where the battlefield is in our
minds.
