Battle Is the Lord's

Last updated

In working with the song over this last year on and off, it just represents to me the fact that God has gone before me with my music and with this calling. This song has ministered to me that the battle is the Lord’s and I can rest in Him. He’s fighting for me, He’s gone before me, He’s called me to this and I don’t have to fear.
