I can see the Promised Land / Though there’s pain within the plan / There is victory in the end / Your love is my battle cry // When my fears like Jericho / Build their walls around my soul / When my heart is overthrown / Your love is my battle cry / The anthem for all my life // Every giant will fall, the mountains will move / Every chain of the past, You’ve broken in two / Over fear, over lies we’re singing the truth / That nothing is impossible with You // There is hope within the fight / In the wars that rage inside / Though the shadows steal the light / Your love is my battle cry / The anthem for all my life // No greater name / No higher name / No stronger name / Than Jesus / You overcame / Broke every chain / Forever reign / King Jesus
