Battle Cry

[Verse 1]
Cracked shield
Blood on my hands
I’ve been swinging at shadows
Falling again and again
Voices
Telling me run
But Your banner is burning
Brighter than the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m bruised but I’m breathing (hey!)
On my knees but I’m not done
If the cross still stands before me
Then this war is already won
[Chorus]
This is my battle cry
Name of Jesus on my tongue tonight
I’m not backing down this time
Fear can’t hold the line when You’re by my side
I was made to stand and fight
In the dark
Your word is my war-light
Raise my hands to the sky
Jesus
Jesus
This is my battle cry
[Verse 2]
Old scars
Whisper my past
But Your mercy is louder
Cutting through the backlash
Fire
Burns in my chest
You turn ashes to armor
Weakness into strength
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m shaking but I’m staying
You’re the strength in my shaking bones
If the stone rolled from that grave
Then I’ll never stand alone
[Chorus]
This is my battle cry
Name of Jesus on my tongue tonight
I’m not backing down this time
Fear can’t hold the line when You’re by my side
I was made to stand and fight
In the dark
Your word is my war-light
Raise my hands to the sky
Jesus
Jesus
This is my battle cry
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown
Crowd shouts]
When I am cornered
You are the thunder
When I am silent
You are the roar (woah)
When I am breaking
You hold the pieces
I lift my voice
And hell hits the floor
[Chorus]
This is my battle cry
Name of Jesus on my tongue tonight
I’m not backing down this time
Fear can’t hold the line when You’re by my side
I was made to stand and fight
In the dark
Your word is my war-light
Raise my hands to the sky
Jesus
Jesus
This is my battle cry
