Wise in the War

"O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle" (Psalm 140:7). By wise counsel thou shalt make thy war" (Proverbs 24:6). "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood" (Jeremiah 48:10).

God will never sound retreat
Nor call for compromise.
It is the counsel of deceit
That counsels otherwise.

The battle rages on today;
We have the Spirit's sword.
Cursed is he who turns away
From following the Lord.

Christ will lead in victory
In the battlefield of souls.
There is a calm security
In knowing He controls.

We follow on where Christ has led,
Where the battle has been stirred.
The helmet that protects our head
Is the promise of His Word.
