Heat of the Battle Lyrics
Verse 1
I remember a time I thought I was standing Then I took for granted our foe I let down my guard, became lax in duty Then I suffered a sharp painful blow I recall as I lay on that cold battle field Wondering if I would survive Then I saw in the distance an old blood soaked banner That brought to my courage new life
Chorus
I might have gone down in the heat of the battle But don't count me out of the fight I still bear the scars where I have been wounded It looks like they'll be there for life But soon this conflict will end for God's mighty army It will be worth the toil and strife I might have gone down in the heat of the battle But don't count me out of the fight
Verse 2
As Jesus once walked up the hill of Golgotha Knowing what waited ahead The army of angels listened for orders To wipe out the whole world instead But He looked through the battle and saw a great victory Denying Himself for the cause Though He still bears the scars from the heat of the battle He overthrew evil for all
