Sacred Bullets

sacred bullets flying through the air
sacred bullets flying everywhere

wars will come and wars will go,
and only time will tell the woes

kingdom love is never free,
evil attacks your destiny

you have no clue
the weapons you used
in armed forces are not the same

on a hill far away
stands an old rugged cross,
a symbol of suffering and shame

the greatest battle was won that day,
bloody surrender, sacrifice of clay

for spiritual wars
fought with far different tools

Sacred bullets flying through the air
sacred bullets landing nowhere

why do they hit, miss, or go astray?
who’s in charge of this war,
some might say

heavenly angels,
armies of might,
use only God’s weapons, glory works with the light

praying and praising
hours each day,
binding and loosing,
declaring kingdoms reign

don’t be deceived,
wars won on our knees,
all glory to heaven above

our weapons are love
our weapons are mighty
truth cannot be held in the dark

humble yourselves
learn a new way
to battle
win victories
celebrate the way

Sacred bullets flying through the air
sacred bullets dispatching life here and there

there is a plan
there is a way
trust is true love,
currency to be claimed

not by might or power
is what you have said
help us, oh God,
get out of our heads

discernment is needed
wisdom wanted, too
understanding and patience
these weapons will do

one moment of God’s power
one moment of God’s might
scatters enemies
defeats evil
