Already Won

Father will they laugh?
Not the last laugh.

Father will they lie?
The devil is a lie.

Father will they win?
Not in My eyes.

Father will they fall?
For all the world to see.

Father do they hear you?
Only if they listen to your words.

Father do they see you?
If all eyes are on you.

Father do they know you?
It’s inevitable that we meet.

Father do they seek you?
I have not heard their knees.

Father leave me standing.
There is no other way.

Father leave me strengthened.
My daughter, I hear your prayer.

Father leave me wiser.
Then take the lessons as they come.

Father leave me humbled.
None of this is for you.

Father I give all praise to thee.
Then your battle is already won.

The Battle

In the face of the devil, You told me to prepare for battle.
I summoned my anger and called on my vengeance.
I stood before You and said I was ready.
You told me, not yet.

In the face of the devil, You told me to prepare for battle.
I summoned my friends and called on rumor and gossip.
I stood before You and said I was ready.
You told me, not yet.

In the face of the devil, You told me to prepare for battle.
I summoned my tears and called on my fear.
I stood before You and said I was ready.
You told me, not yet.

In the face of the devil, You told me to prepare for battle.
I summoned the Lord and called Your name.
I knelt before You and asked if I was ready.
You gave me Your shield and armour.

For in the face of the devil, You fought my battle.
