The Battle Is The Lord's

You have longed for sweet peace

And for faith to increase

You have earnestly, so fervently

Oh, you really prayed

Oh, yes you have

But you cannot find rest

Nor be perfectly blessed

Until on the altar, until it's laid

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice?

Is it laid?

Your heart, does the spirit control?

Now, you can only

You can only be blessed

And have peace and sweet rest

After you have yielded unto the Lord

Your body and your soul

Oh yes

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?

Your heart, does the spirit control?

You can only, only, only be blessed

And have peace and sweet rest (Peace and sweet rest)

After you have yielded him

Yielded him your body and your soul

Oh

That's all he wants

Everything, everything, everything

So, would you walk with the Lord (Walk with the Lord)

In the beauty of his light

Would you obey his word (obey his word)

Every day and every night

We will never know just what the Lord

Has to bestow upon his children until we

Give him complete control

Give him your heart (Give him your heart)

And your mind, your mind, your mind

Give him your spirit

(That's what he wants, that's he needs, that's he wants, that's what he needs. Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Your soul

(He wants your soul. That's what he wants, that's what he need, that's what he wants, that's what he needs.)

Give him your thoughts, give him your ways, your desire

Just give him your body and your soul (your soul)
