Go to battle! Take your stand with Jesus

1.
Go to battle! Take your stand with Jesus.
He committed not a single sin.
He’s our Captain and example.
He will teach you how this fight to win.
Chorus:
Fight the fight of faith to the death of Christ;
Thus you’ll conquer sin and be made free.
In the flesh Christ came, and the battle won;
In His steps we’ll tread triumphantly.
2.
Go to battle! Purify your conscience,
Bringing everything into the light.
Restitution, reconciling—
These will clear the past and make things right.
3.
Go to battle, crucified with Jesus.
Break from sin, and truly give up all.
Put your honor, lusts, and self-will
On the cross, and then you will not fall.
4.
Go to battle with His Word within you.
When you keep His Word you cannot sin!
Be wholehearted in obedience.
Persevere, and vict’ry you will win.
