The soul, it wrestles in the night Conviction or great loss Confusing thoughts do fill the mind On their beds they turn and toss Some will crush their hopes with fear While others end their days But, some will seek beyond their power To find the God who saves They must wear the amour of our God Using helmet, sword and shield They trod the path of ancient feet Wearing peace they can not yield They must clad their breast with righteousness They gird their loins with truth They cling to Christ, their only hope And stand their ground with proof They are bound by their trust and their need for salvation To find the world’s most precious nation They make their way to the ancient gates And they must be on their way The prize for His life is a golden crown Freely give to those who were bound By chains of sin, cast to the ground But they rise and they fight In the strength of His might They pray and they watch By faith they claim it Yeshua guides them on Messiah leads them on Messiah leads them on Messiah leads them on They are under sacred bonds They cross the path of the evil one The father of all lies Sun and thorns can’t stop them The crown is their desire They can see the temple made of gold Where law and mercy meet Their Advocate pleads for them Before the judgement seat They lift their banner soaked with blood By God’s own holy Son Immanuel goes with them Until the cry, “It’s done!”
