Looking at the world today
what so you see
People like you and I
waiting to be free
do we even have a chance
it is
hard to tell
with all this fighting and killing
this could be hell
[Chorus]
Have you been discouraged
hard times
bringing you down
Fight on! I know you can make it
prove it to yourself
Working hard just to survive
can it be
done?
Were only trying to make life better for our son
all I want is to serve my purpose
cant get past today
will there always
be someone
trying to take it away
[Chorus]
Listen now to what I say
to all that have dared
you got to change your
ways
I know that youre scared
fear not the Lord is with us
he can save us all
my hope lies in his hands
please hear his
call
[Chorus]
The spirit of Gideon
lives in the hearts
of any determined band
that refuses to be discouraged
by
hopeless odds
and fights on to victory
"By the sword of the Lord and of Gideon."
