I knew you'd go astray
Yet in my loving kindness
I made you anyway
I blessed you with great blessings
I gave you fruitful lands
I promised your descendants
Will be as more than sand
But you have spurned my blessings
And broken all my laws
And turned to worship idols
With empty gaping maws
So I have sent destruction
Just as I foretold
Your glory will be vapour
Your enemies grow bold
Don't say I didn't warn you
I've told you many times
But you just made your hearts hard
And still, you cross the lines
To exile I have sent you
To pay for all your sins
But if you will turn, repent now
I'll return you to your kin
I've refined you in the fire
And burned your dross away
Walk through the darkest valley
Come out to glorious day
Before the silver rocks and golden hills
Are turned to black by shadows of evil
Please follow me into the brighter day
And take up arms, the ancient darkness slay
Take up your sword, the blade of truth to wield
And from on high, the gift of faith, your shield
Put on your breastplate, clothed in righteousness
Put shoes and belt and helmet to the test
Now take your stand against the evil dark
Come see the line 'twixt good and evil stark
Now listen to the mighty battle call
And charge with joy: "Our God is Lord of All!"
And when the battle has been fought and won
Come kneel and bow before the Christ, God's Son
And lay your battle trophies at His feet
Come taste the joy of Jesus' true love sweet
