Long has Satan fought, resisting

Long has Satan fought

resisting

Faithful sons of God

So the fighting church should notice

Spread the message broad.

God ordained us as His soldiers

Bearing sword and shield

For His purpose fully willing

On the battle field.

Hosts of darkness now are gathered

Conflict has begun

So the fighting church must gather

Those who’ll fight

not run.

Are there rebels still in God’s court

Who still love this age?

If the church is not aggressive

Battle we’ll not wage.

Who’s afraid to fight the devil

Dare the enemy?

If the saints shrink from Christ’s kingdom

Shameful they will be.

“He not with Me is against Me

”

There’s no other choice.

Where’s the fighting church

God-fearing?

Fealty we must voice.

Lo

God’s Conqu’ror still is conqu’ring;

Rise

assume His might!

Fighting church

on Calv’ry’s hillside

He did win the fight!

Once He fully faced the devil

We must face him too

Else the fighting church can only

Other troops review.

Christ is calling overcomers.

Who would please the King?

Now the fighting church should put on

Armor threatening.
