Deliverance - Weapons Of Our Warfare lyrics



Tracks



01. Supplication

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
But mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds
Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself
Against the knowledge of God
And bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

02. This Present Darkness

Drive-by shootings fill fear in the hearts of the city
A shortage of life
No warriors to fight the thugs who rule with no pity
The leaders say it will all end
But why do they constantly lose?
Because the one thing they fail to mention is they are part of it too

A constant search for cover
A search for the remnant to pray
But mighty are the weapons of God to combat this present darkness

Satan's plan
Complacency
Knowing not the fight for your soul
Don't believe his lies
Just unveil your eyes
Through prayer
Bring down the strongholds

A constant search for cover
A search for the remnant to pray
But mighty are the weapons of God to combat this present darkness

A constant search for cover
A search for the remnant to pray
But mighty are the weapons of God to combat this present darkness

03. Weapons Of Our Warfare

Imaginations running wild
Innocent they seem
Polluting your mind
A formulated scheme
The battle; it starts in your mind
A lesson to be learned
Provoking thoughts only cause the sin
That provoking thoughts have earned
Cast down imaginations of every high thing
That dare exalts itself against the knowledge of God

The weapons of our warfare
Powerful they are
No nuclear warfare attacks can bring these strongholds down
To take dominion over Satan's own ground
Rise up with the sword of God and put your armor on

And the weapons of our warfare aren't carnal
Imaginations running wild
Innocent they seem
They've polluted your mind
The formulated scheme
The battle; it started in your mind
A lesson to be learned
Provoking thoughts only caused the sin
That provoking thoughts have earned
Cast down imaginations of every high thing
That dare exalts itself against the knowledge of God

04. Solitude

A coward dies a thousand deaths
A hero dies but once
But what no one else has seen
Is the truth that lies inside
That behind the eyes of a hero lies a fear
No less
A fear
No less than mine
I say it time and time again

I don't want to be alone in this solitude

What is truth?
Once one had asked
And still he seeks to find it
A man's fear is crushed when thoughts recall words heard so long ago
Search for an answer
A Holy book upon a shelf
Words cutting deep inside
Speaks to my heart and to my soul In this solitude

What is truth?
Once one had asked
And still he seeks to find it
A man's fear is crushed when thoughts recall words heard so long ago

I don't have to be alone
No more solitude

05. Flesh And Blood

Slaves to the power of sin
Once in captivity to darkness; spiritually dead
A voice cried from the top of a hill
"It is finished"!
It awakened those who were once dead
But now we live
For us
Now we live a new life in freedom
Not being enslaved by the power of any
Jesus' blood has made us free
But the battle still remains
We contend not with flesh and blood
But with spiritual darkness

For this we wage war
But not against man
This war is with darkness
And not against flesh and blood

The Holy Book makes it clear as to how ought to fight
Put on the armor of God
Not by your might
Pray always with all supplication
In the spirit
To the pulling down of strongholds and crushing of Satan's plan

For this we wage war
But not against man
This war is with darkness
And not against flesh and blood

This war is not for wimps
The emaciated
Or the weak
It's for those who bear their cross and believe the power of Jesus' name
Christianity
A reality
It's a fight to let you know
About a man who gave his flesh and blood to save your Hellbound soul

06. Bought By Blood

The seductress that flatters with her tongue
Don't be lead astray by her deceit
Nany are the victims she's cast down
All her slain are a might host
Her house is the way to hell
Descending to the chambers of death
Time and time and time again
Men are slaves to her
Sexual immorality
Leaving out the purity
It's not the way God intended it to be
Repentance is essential here
So we must practice what we preach
Fornicators shall have their part
Only hypocrites do the opposite of what they teach

You've been paid for
At a price
You've been bought by blood
The precious blood of Christ
You've been bought by blood

All her slain are mighty host
Her house is the way to Hell
Descending to the chambers of death

You've been paid for
At a price
You've been bought by blood
The precious blood of Christ
You've been bought by blood

07. 23

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me to lie down in green pastures
Leads me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul
Leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His names sake
Though I walk through the
Valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil

You are with me
Your rod an staff
They comfort me
You are with me
Oh Lord

You prepare a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy will
Follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the
House of the Lord, forever

You are with me...

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want

08. Slay The Wicked

Angelic forces fighting the battles
Unseen warriors
Might they are
There is no place where angels fear to tread
Drawing swords of His awesome power
The word of truth on their lips
Prevailing over the rulers of this age

Release the power
Not ours
Not angels
But God's above
This is the hour
Demons
Your fate is sealed

Slay the wicked

Demonic forces lie waiting to deceive
Fallen angels incite rebellion
The human race is their prey: don't be enslaved by their sinister scheme
Resist the devil and he will flee from you
Don't give place to his lies
Not being ignorant of any devices
Submit to God: be a vicar of Christ

Release the power
Not ours
Not angels
But God's above
This is the hour
Demons
Your fate is sealed

Slay the wicked

Release the power
Not ours
Not angels
But God's above
This is the hour
Demons
Your fate is sealed

Slay the wicked

09. Greetings Of Death

It has been appointed once for a man to die
But after this the judgement
Once the appointment has been made
Nothing can be done to change it
No need to be afraid of the greetings of death
Will you be wrapped in the chains of torment?
Or pass from life unto death?
The power of death knows not one
But to live you must die
Life is for those who have offered their lives
To live is Christ to die is to gain
Are you afraid to die?

10. If We Faint Not

You say you're getting tired of the spiritual march
Your life is slowly growing cold
Life just seems so much harder: all the battles day by day
That's when we must stand up and be bold
Be bold
So, let us not grow weary in doing what is right
God shall renew our strength to fight
Remember, we reap what we sow
Flesh sows corruption
Spirit everlasting life
It's yours

We shall reap - if we faint not

Seeing that we have a great high priest, Jesus: the Son of God
In all points tempted as we are
Sinless, He won the battle; given power to His own
Look up, your redemption is not afar
Be ready

We shall reap - if we faint not
