[Bridge + Hook]

You give me a shield of salvation for this battle

You give me Your strength to call Your name in this battle

Let praise to our God, praise to our God

Be like arrows straight to our enemies

Let praise to our God, Praise to our God

Be like arrows straight to our enemies

‘Cause this is war, this is war, and this is war

[Verse 1 - Canon]

(They call me Canon)

Now pardon me if my heart make it harder

I don' mean for me to be fallin off like a leaf

But I am gettin goin like the wind comin up on autumn

So much mud in my water

The life I took in was so tainted

Until I drunk a cup from the stream of the living Author

Though my days’ll get longer I keep my conscience on lock

And on guard like a barber with clippers on the edge when I start up

This Gospel got me caught up

In the middle of fighting a battle

For the sake of the Gospel it's awesome

How I get awestruck

Still fighting when I’m following Jesus, the King

Oh, you better believe it

Man I cannot break away when the whole world finna stumble when it crumble to pieces

Look around this a circle of people like a schoolyard till we down with the kingdom

Kings give us stripes like Adidas

So the enemies stay down but beneath us

Satan there won’t be no slaughter no beef

Bow down to the Father

And if God is known as the author

Then what should the pot say to the potter?

And because there won’t be no replacement

Can’t nobody word that can claim that statement

It's Jesus Son of God who came in to die, better rise for the occasion!

[Hook]

Let praise to our God, praise to our God

Be like arrows, straight to our enemies

Let praise to our God, praise to our God

Be like arrows, straight to our enemies

‘Cause this is war, this is war, and this is war

[Verse 2 - Deraj]

The load can be light or heavy depending on how you weigh it

Sing a new song but be careful of what you sayin'

‘Cause words can hold power, for instance

Folks could catch it from a bow or bow just depending on how I say it so

I say I’ll sing it ‘till it reach Heaven

I’ll never be home alone He’ll never leave Kevin no

Know (I know) I know just what he said

Just like the blood that flows a pretty rose

He wrote it all in red and if the stars are overhead

And the flowers all sleep in bed and the sparrow is always fed

I bet I can trust what He said

He loved me when I was ugly, He could’ve left me for dead

He always be thinking of me, He chose to love me instead

And in spite of all that they said I was never begging for bread

Now I’m dancing out of my clothes

And y’all think I’m gone in the head

I’m lookin up overhead and I told em go on ahead of me

I’m still workin on all these melodies

[Bridge]

You give me a shield of salvation for this battle

You give me Your strength to call Your name in this battle

[Verse 3 - Trip Lee]

(Yes sir)

I see an army marchin to its place

Guns in the air with a grimace on their face

Armor on their bodies’ military boots laced

I can’t make it out alive oh Lord

So lord give me grace (please)

This is war, believe me this thing crazy

Smoke all in the air till the atmosphere hazy

But I ain’t starin at the enemy that hates me

I’m got my eyes on You Lord, you amaze me

Hey, they try to tell me that I’m gone

On the wrong side of the battle I should go home

Hold up, but I should tell em let em on

The side of the Lion of Judah, I know He's strong

I can’t win it on my own, shouldn't try

My heart is full of fire homie take a look inside

I ain’t got no other weapons on my side

But the truth so I'm shooting up my praise to the sky

[Hook]

Let praise to our God, praise to our God

Be like arrows, straight to our enemies

Let praise to our God, praise to our God

Be like arrows, straight to our enemies

‘Cause this is war, this is war, and this is war
