The Warrior

(album: The Story I Tell - 2013)

My heart is a liar
It tells me little things
It sets me up to come undone
In a war against me
It plays a constant record
Of struggle and defeat
But I will choose to listen to
The one who fought for me

The battle's done
The war is won
And we are more than conquerers
The curse of sin
The rage within
Has fallen at the glory of
The warrior

Every morning meets me
with a choice to carry on
The challenger is waiting for me
In the mirror on my wall
The lines are drawn
The list is long
Of all I'll never be
But it's not up to who I am
It's He who lives in me

Cause the battle's done
The war is won
And we are more than conquerers
The curse of sin
The rage within
Has fallen at the glory of
The warrior

In rain or drought
With or without
In all the ups or downs
We win

In life, in death
In every breath
Beginning to the end
We win

Cause on the cross
My every loss
And prison walls
Began to fall
And freedom came
And called my name
Oh, I am not afraid

The battle's done
And the war is won
And we are more than conquerers
The curse of sin
The rage within
Has fallen at the glory of
The curse of sin
That we held within
Has fallen at the glory of
The overcoming story of
The warrior
The warrior
