THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

VERSE 1:
   Em                  D/E       Em
In heavenly armorwe'll enter the land,
    Em        D            Em
The battle be-longs to the Lord.
                             D/E            Em
No weapon that's fashioned a-gainst us will stand,
              D            Em
The battle be-longs to the Lord.

CHORUS:
    C  D    G   D   C  D G              D/F#            Em   Em/D
And we sing glo-ry, ho-o-nor, power and strength to the Lord.
C  D    G   D   C  D G    CM7       D               Em
We sing glo-ry, ho-o-nor, power and strength to the Lord!

VERSE 2:
When the power of darkness comes in like a flood,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
He's raised up a standard, the pow'r of His blood,
The battle belongs to the Lord.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
When your enemy presses in hard, do not fear,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
Take courage, my friend, your redemption is near,
The battle belongs to the Lord.

(REPEAT CHORUS)
