Stranded on an island of sin, I despaired for life: No one could ever see me; All I felt was pain, anguish and separation The darkness of the night And the uncertainties of the future Not only filled my mind with doubt But it threatened my very existence Threatened from within I made an exit from it Numbed by the impact of sin I struggled my way up The feelings in my mind made me a sinner And the guilt inside me condemned me as a sinner The accusing voices grew louder As the resistance in me grew weaker; As I lay dying,I was awakened by A sudden surge of power in me The God who chosed me came to my rescue Raising me up to fight The War once again. Just as He promised I was never forsaken And never will be With the new powers in me I fight the new battles of the old war This is God’s war at its best, In God we Trust.
