Intro: I gotta speak to the men for a minute (minute...) God the Father’s been telling me that I need to follow close to His Son, because (because...) well...
Hook: : This is war! For your life and your wife son! Fight through the night-keep in stride with Christ! (Repeat 4x)
Verse 1: Uh-That’s not easy to do. It’s so easy to chose lust, it’s just easy to lose. When the battle is in front of you (you) whacha gonna do (do)? I ain’t gonna lie to ya dog, I struggle too. I been fighting since the days of my youth, and it’s a battle everyday just to stay in His truth. I say this to you cuz we all are bombarded hard. It’s hard to live for God-especially, when the world’s testing me. [It] tries to get the best of me. The lust of [the] flesh will mess with me. Sinfully, yep it be tempting me ya’ll this is war but the Lord is my infantry! Fix your eyes on Christ. Get your eyes on Him, get them off women. I said to, fix your eyes on Christ. Get your eyes on Him and get them off women. I said to, fix your eyes on Christ. Get your eyes on Him, and get them off women, and quit sinning!
Hook::
Verse 2: This is war. This is more important than you thought that it was so fortunately you’re hearing me rhyme, and clearing yer mind. I pray that everybody hearing me is hearing me fine, cuz here in this time everything is sex appeal. Let’s get real. 7th Heaven had Jessica Beil. Come on. Who are we kidding? satan’s attackin’ and it’s time that we Christians stand up and smack him. Attack him back. Are you getting the picture? You can’t pop him with a slug ya’ll, hit him with Scripture! (Bang!) Like Christ did, ya’ll cuz Christ is our example, and His strength is ample for us. We don’t have to give in, and we don’t have to give up. And we don’t have to follow half the world’s stuff. In fact we don’t need none of it. Man I’m loving it. God has a plan for your life, let Him run it man. Throw off the sin that so easily entangles, and dangles, and hangs like it’s chains from your ankles.
Hook::
Verse 3:
There’s a hope and a prayer for freedom, and I hope that you hear all my words and I hope you heed ‘em. Ya’ll band together. All align. Get ready for the war and fall behind Jesus- the leader that we all must find. Follow Him and in unison we all be like...
“Left-right-left-right-left stay behind the Christ!
Left-right-left-right-left get behind the Christ!
Left-right-left-right-left fix your eyes on Christ!
Left-right-left-right-left stay behind the Christ!
Left-right-left-right-left get behind the Christ!
Left-right-left-right-left stay behind the Christ!”
Military voice, “Left, right, left...”
Hook: (fade out)
