Verse 1
I came through the valley with dust on my feet
Carried the weight but You’ve been carrying me the way, this whole time
Every night I thought I’d fall
But You were standing strong
I heard the whisper of fear in the dark
Tried to steal the song from my heart
But You said, “Daughter, lift your eyes”
The war was already Mine
—
Pre-Chorus
Ohhh I was never alone
Even when I felt unknown
Heaven had a battle cry
And it was over my life
—
Chorus (big, rhythmic, chantable)
Fire on my side
I don’t run, I rise
Lion of Judah walking with me
I don’t fight alone
Hands lifted high
Tears in my eyes
I belong to the Most High King
And the victory’s already won
—
Post-Chorus (layered chant)
Eh-eh-eh
You go before me
Eh-eh-eh
You stand behind
Eh-eh-eh
Surrounded, covered
By holy fire
—
Verse 2
Every lie tried to mark my name
But Your love washed off the shame
What the enemy meant for harm
You turned into a song
You taught my hands how to open in grace
Not with striving but face to face
I don’t have to prove my worth
I’m the daughter of the King
—
Pre-Chorus 2
Ohhh now my heart beats strong
I’ve been carried all along
The cross already sealed my fate
There’s no more fear in this place
—
Chorus (bigger, add harmonies)
Fire on my side
I don’t run, I rise
The Son of Heaven, God of all, fighting by my side
I don’t fight alone
Hands lifted high
Love in my eyes
I belong to the Perfect Father
And the battle’s already won
—
Bridge (devotional shift – softer, then build)
Jesus, my devotion
Jesus, my delight
Not just in the battle
But in the quiet night
You’re not only my Defender
You’re the One my heart adores
I don’t just want the victory
I want You, Lord
(Repeat, build drums slowly under)

—
Final Chorus (tender mix)
Fire on my side
But love in my chest
I’m not just a warrior
I’m a child at rest
Jesus, steady
Faithful and true
I don’t just fight for You
I fight from You
