The Bible tells us that there’s a definite spiritual conflict for us. The two Georges (Duffield and Webb) who wrote Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus captured the essence of victory wonderfully.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss.
From victory unto victory His army he shall lead,
Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in his strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armour, each piece put on with prayer;
When duty calls or danger be never wanting there.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle, the next the victor’s song.
To him that overcometh a crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory shall reign eternally.

These arrangements are perfect for the small ensemble at my church. They will be a huge addition to our repertoire.
