Verse 1

Why so heavy oh my soul
Did you forget who’s in control
If He calls the wind
And waves to still
He holds you now and always will

Chorus

The battle is the Lord's
Take courage in the fight
The weapons of this war
Are praises lifted high
My confidence is sure
My God has gone before
I’ll sing into the night
The battle is the Lord's

Verse 2

Come be still oh anxious heart
Find rest here
In the Father's arms
In His presence there is
Perfect peace
In His power there is victory

Chorus

The battle is the Lord's
Take courage in the fight
The weapons of this war
Are praises lifted high
My confidence is sure
My God has gone before
I’ll sing into the night
The battle is the Lord's

Here now Your presence here now
We are set free now
Hands lifted high in worship
Here now fear has to leave now
Your kingdom’s here now
Yours is the power and the glory

The battle is the Lord's
Take courage in the fight
The weapons of this war
Are praises lifted high

We are set free now
Hands lifted high in worship
