Even when we engage in the battle

Even when we engage in the battle,
The Enemy seeks to tempt, to destroy,
Dangling enticement, temptation,
Seeking to take us off the path…
 
The battle is raging, even if we are blind,
When we are dwelling in the flesh,
God calls to us, a righteous army,
To become His slave, to submit…
 
We are a priesthood, a chosen people,
That is why we are under attack,
We must stand resolute, righteous,
Sharpening our iron, with the Spirit’s breath…
