Looking at the world today |
|
what so you see |
|
People like you and I |
|
waiting to be free |
|
do we even have a chance |
|
it is hard to tell |
|
with all this fighting and killing |
|
this could be hell |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Have you been discouraged |
|
hard times bringing you down |
|
Fight on! I know you can make it |
|
prove it to yourself |
|
Working hard just to survive |
|
can it be done? |
|
We're only trying to make life better for our son |
|
all I want is to serve my purpose |
|
can't get past today |
|
will there always be someone |
|
trying to take it away |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Listen now to what I say |
|
to all that have dared |
|
you got to change your ways |
|
I know that you're scared |
|
fear not the Lord is with us |
|
he can save us all |
|
my hope lies in his hands |
|
please hear his call |
|
(Chorus) |
|
The spirit of Gideon |
|
lives in the hearts |
|
of any determined band |
|
that refuses to be discouraged |
|
by hopeless odds |
|
and fights on to victory |
|
"By the sword of the Lord and of Gideon." |
