VERSE 1: You say You love me But how could You When I ran so far And still You want me When I lose sight Of where You are
PRE-CHORUS: But it only took a moment With You A glimpse of life with purpose And I knew That living where the light is Oh Lord It’s exactly where You want me and I never wanna leave
CHORUS: So I’m gonna stay in Your presence Sing of Your love forever Dance like I did the day when I caught a glimpse of You
And I’ll get a little bit desperate To run to the arms of heaven All of my life surrendered Cos I caught a glimpse of You
TAG: I caught a glimpse of You
VERSE 2: You are for me Through the moments When I lose my way You surround me With Your mercy And Your endless grace
BRIDGE: I wanna lift You high Forever this heart is Yours Why would I run and hide When mercy has covered all I give my life to You For all that You are Is all I want God It’s all I want
Phil Wickham’s highly anticipated new single “Battle Belongs” Co-written with Bethel Music’s Brian Johnson, the track is a powerful proclamation that in Jesus we stand on the side of a battle that has already been won. Also timing with the song’s release today is a live performance video, as well as a lyric video.
“In 2 Chronicles 20, one of my favorite stories in the Bible, a huge army has amassed to come against the people of God,” Wickham explains. “Everytime I sing ‘Battle Belongs,’ it pumps me up because we know that in anything we might face, our God is bigger. I hope this song reminds people that He is with us and for us. If we stand firm and hold our position, we will see the salvation of the Lord on our behalf!”
When all I see is the battle You see my victory When all I see is the mountain You see a mountain moved And as I walk through the shadow Your love surrounds me There’s nothing to fear now For I am safe with You
So when I fight I’ll fight on my knees With my hands lifted high Oh God the battle belongs to You And every fear I lay at Your feet I’ll sing through the night Oh God the battle belongs to You
And if You are for me Who can be against me (yeah) For Jesus there’s nothing Impossible for You When all I see are the ashes You see the beauty (thank You God) When all I see is a cross God You see the empty tomb
So when I fight I’ll fight on my knees With my hands lifted high Oh God the battle belongs to You And every fear I lay at Your feet I’ll sing through the night Oh God the battle belongs to You
Almighty Fortress You go before us Nothing can stand against The power of our God You shine in the shadow You win every battle Nothing can stand against The power of our God
Almighty Fortress You go before us Nothing can stand against The power of our God You shine in the shadow You win every battle Nothing can stand against The power of our God
Almighty Fortress You go before us Nothing can stand against The power of our God You shine in the shadows You win every battle Nothing can stand against The power of our God
So when I fight I’ll fight on my knees With my hands lifted high Oh God the battle belongs to You And every fear I lay at Your feet I’ll sing through the night Oh God the battle belongs to You

Not for a minute Was I forsaken The Lord is in this place The Lord is in this place Come Holy Spirit Dry bones awaken The Lord is in this place The Lord is in this place

The longer the wait, the longer I’ll praise The stronger the pain, the stronger my faith grows The higher the need, the higher I’ll reach The greater the cost, the more I’ll believe for
