Do You Know What You're Fighting For?

Here comes another moment when I can't clear my mind.
I can't begin to focus in on what I'm supposed to do.
In a week of so many triumphs, I just left my resolve behind.

I won't do it anymore. I won't allow that door to open.
But it happens and I convince myself
I was never actually focused.

I am fighting my feelings more than I ever have before.
I know what I am supposed to do,
but I do what my flesh wants more.

Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Cast down your strongholds.
Pray to God and He will hear you.
Face the fact that He already knows.

He knows that you're struggling. He wants you to fight.
He has equipped you for battle.
All you have to do is what's right.

You throw out a punch. First a left then a right...
Somehow you're still standing
If you focus you just might

Realize that you can't win
You can't overcome
You can't even begin

To gain ground on your enemy.
But, you swing and you miss.
You are so busy trying to land a blow, but the fight is within

Do you know what you're fighting for?

It's your spirit not your flesh.
It's peace, joy, and salvation.
It's holding on until you get blessed.

Do you know what you're fighting for?

The battle you fight is bigger than what you just did.
It's as expansive as the mountain
that mustard seed faith once hid.

Do you know what you're fighting for?

This fight is bigger than your love for that girl or that boy.
It is as fierce as the ocean
that swallowed the Titanic like it was a toy.

Do you know what you're fighting for?

It's not about one sin.
It's not about getting even with someone who hurt you.
It's not about arguing until you win.

Do you know what you're fighting for?

If you don't please consider the cross.
Consider the battle that you think you're fighting
Might be one satan has already lost.

Do you know what you're fighting for?
