Lyrics
Mighty Sword
1st verse
Come Lord Jesus don't be long... this fight is lost without you.
The enemy is far too strong... and he wants to take my soul.
The battle plan I learned from you... love, truth, and forgiveness.
I need your grace to see it through... I offer up my life.
They can kill the body, but cannot kill the soul.
Your love is ever lasting, your love gives me hope.
Chorus
My strength is in the Lord, His word's a mighty sword.
2nd verse
Holy Spirit, Breath of Life... set my heart on fire.
Light my path so I can be... a channel of your peace.
Show me a more perfect way... love is all that matters.
All is lost and nothing gained... until I love my enemy.
The lost and the lonely, I'll wipe their tears away.
With your grace to guide me, the poor will praise your name.
(Chorus)
3rd Verse
Father God hear my plea... there's evil all around me.
Like water my life drains away... I can count all my bones.
Please don't hide your face from me... don't turn away in anger.
I will proclaim your name... for all the world to hear.
The living and the dead, they will bow down before you.
And those yet to be born, will be told of your love.
(Chorus)
4th verse
Come Lord Jesus don't be long... this fight is lost without you.
Holy Spirit, Breath of Life... set my heart on fire.
Father God hear my plea... there's evil all around my.
Light my path so I can be... a channel of your peace.
The lost and the lonely, the living and the dead,
and those yet to be born, and the poor will praise your name.
