Lyrics
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 (3)
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
Oh God, the battle belongs to You

When life feels like an uphill battle, it is easy to focus only on the overwhelming obstacles right in front of us. Yet God sees the complete picture, transforming our impossible mountains into testimonies of His grace and victory. Instead of striving in our own strength, we are invited to surrender our worries through worship and prayer. As we lift our hands and bow our knees, we rest in the comforting truth that the ultimate outcome rests securely in His hands.
