Hear my battle cry!
I've walked through Hell
And I still smile
I am a daughter of Christ, my King
I leapt through fire and remained unscathed
For He is with my every step
He hears my cries and my pleas
He wipes my tears
I stand only because of the strength He gives me
With His outstretched hands
He pulls me to my feet
I wear the shield of faith and breastplate of righteousness
The belt of truth
The rod and staff of comfort
Ah, perhaps drugs and alcohol ally the Devil
Perhaps he is given joy through sexual addictions and delights in lies
Perhaps Satan rejoices in theft and coercing families into poverty
In the beating of spouses and the cursing out of children
In deep-seeded gambling addictions
In people selling their children
In secrets born of sin
Perhaps I have wittnessed a great deal of this
My eyes see much
Innocent eyes of children cry painful tears after witnessing horrific atrocities
And they make marks on their skin
Hoping that the pain will turn to the outside
Because to remain on the inside, it is unbearable
Well, dear children
None of this was our fault
We cannot change our pasts
But we can improve the future of others
Through the glory of the Amazing Christ who held our hands through the flames
We walk on with smiles
We dare to smile
After these atrocities
And we bring fear to the Devil
Because he knows we are not his
He sees God with us
And recognizes that we...
WE
are WARRIORS
