Going to war

This is my
independence day
so look out world
out of the way
gonna be some change
tearing off my flesh
putting on the new man
that's what I'ma do
put myself to death
all these worldy things
putem in a grave
then I'll let you bury them
don't need'em any more
see today I'm at war
gonna see the difference
in the way I hold my stance
yeah them words you got hurt
but I'm dead to'em now
buried with my self
my ego's dead to man
hold my head up
filling with the spirit
set myself on fire
running for the LORD
and you know I'll never tire
looking forward to the day
when I leave this all behind
but I'll be fightin' til I retire
all in I am
and you heard that right
no gloves needed
this a bare knuckle fight
it's a war within my self
and that's why I died
buried in the water
raised up in Christ
walking in the spirit
just too tired of living
in mans world
listen to them lies
that even turn you fam
just can't see it
what some trials are for
so I pray to God and ask Him
give me wisdom for this war
He'll never leave me nor forsake me
and I can't be plucked from his hand
so I rest secure in this
and serve Him how I can
I know I'm not the best
my life ain't perfect
that God above
He loved me anyway
so today's a new one
full of promise and hope
and let that ole devil
think he's got me on the ropes
I know the one that wins it
the one that's on my side
and though you may not believe
He's the reason I'm alive
so I'll stand firm in belief
and worry not for tomorrow
cause no matter where I go
the LORD is sure to follow
and I know He's with me
directing my path
I see His light shining
in the darkest of the night
and though I've been down
I know that I'll arise
Just like my God in Heaven
Jesus Christ, The Messiah
He's my protector and my keeper
a shepherd to my flock
I remember very clearly
hearing when He knocked
I opened up the door
and opened up my life
to praise, worship and serve Him
even if it cost my life
cause he breathed life in me
and it's nothing to gain the world
cause if I lose my soul
I've surely lost it all
So war has come
and casualties will fall
sins of flesh, sins of mind
all gonna be left behind
laying down my life
at the Saviors feet
that he might judge me worthy
of all that I've been given
So goodbye flesh
I know you no more
today's the day I finally fight
this is my declaration of war
