Stranded on an island of sin,
I despaired for life:
No one could ever see me;
All I felt was pain, anguish and separation
The darkness of the night
And the uncertainties of the future
Not only filled my mind with doubt
But it threatened my very existence
Threatened from within
I made an exit from it
Numbed by the impact of sin
I struggled my way up
The feelings in my mind made me a sinner
And the guilt inside me condemned me as a sinner
The accusing voices grew louder
As the resistance in me grew weaker;
As I lay dying,I was awakened by
A sudden surge of power in me
The God who chosed me came to my rescue
Raising me up to fight
The War once again.
Just as He promised
I was never forsaken
And never will be
With the new powers in me
I fight the new battles of the old war
This is God’s war at its best,
In God we Trust.
