This Means War
I grew up listening to Petra. Whenever I need a shot of reality and to remember what life is all about, I enjoy going back and listening to those albums. God has come through lately with the “This Means War” (1987) album. I’ll share some clips of the lyrics with you.
Get on your knees and fight like a man
You’ll pull down strongholds if you just believe you can
Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee
Get on your knees and fight like a man
Under the gun, you’ve got no place to hide out
Backed in the corner on your own
This is one storm you are destined to ride out
One way to leave the danger zone
You’ve got the backbone to fight this tide
You’ve got the will to survive
You’ve got the weapon, it’s at your side
You’ve got to learn to confide
I am available
I don’t have much to offer you, I don’t have much to give
There’s so much I may never be as long as I may live
I may never be all I want to be although I’ll always try
But if you choose me, to use me, there’s just one reason why
I am available, I am available
I will go when you say go
I am available, I am available
I will stop when you say no
My whole life was incomplete till I laid it at Your feet
So use me as You will
I am available
You are my Rock
You are my rock, my fortress, my shield
You are my rock, let Your strength be revealed
My rock, my comfort, my peace
My salvation, my refuge, my God
You are my Rock
Don’t let your heart be hardened – don’t let your love grow cold
May it always stay so childlike – may it never grow too old
Don’t let your heart be hardened – may you always know the cure
Keep it broken before Jesus, keep it thankful, meek, and pure
Let His love rain down upon you
Breaking up your fallow ground
Let it lossen all the binding
Till only tenderness is found
Ephesians 6:10-18
This means war!
