Battle is Spiritual 2-29-16

V1:
PreCh:
And I'll fight, fight, fight C
With all my might, might, might D And I pray, yes, I pray Em-B
Chorus:
The scales will fall off my eyes Em To see every disguise C
I need to resist, Em or D?
Not cease and desist, C
The struggle is supernatural C-D-Em The battle is spiritual C-D-Em
Not against flesh and blood, we fight But in the power of His might,
That we survive the darkest night.
Hold up the shield, the battle is real.
C- Am- Em x4

Can’t see it, but it exists C-Am-Em x4 Evil torments and persists
Anger rises, we clench our fists
When trials come, it leaves me numb
But I pray, I pray C-D
Chorus:
The scales will fall off my eyes Em To see every disguise C
I need to resist, Em or D?
Not cease and desist, C
The struggle is supernatural C-D-Em The battle is spiritual C-D-Em

Man is not the enemy G Resist the devil, he will flee D His Word ...is my sword Em It is written...Christ is Lord C

And we’ll fight, fight, fight With all our might, might, might (sung 4X)

Same as above, but last line sung 3X
