Lyrics There's A War Going On - Walter Hawkins

This little song says there's a war going on
Is that right?
And it's not a war where your eyes can see it
But it's a spiritual warfare
The scripture said we wrestle not against flesh and blood
But against principalities and powers
And all sorts of spiritual wickedness in high places
Then the bible said if you want to win
You gotta put on the whole armor of God
Is that right?
The sword of the spirit, the shield of faith, your feet prepared with the preparation of the gospel of peace
There's a war going on
And if you want to win, put on the whole armor of God
Sister Lynette Hawkins Stephens
Amen
There's a war going on

There's a war going on
And if you're gonna win
You better make sure that you have Jesus deep down within
This battle cannot be won
With bullets and guns
'Cause the enemy you cannot see
Through human faculties

There's a war going on (war going on)
And if you're gonna win (if you're gonna win)
You better make sure that you have Jesus deep down within
This battle cannot be won (battle can't be won)
With bullets and guns
'Cause the enemy you cannot see through human faculties

For we wrestle but against (not against flesh and blood)
But against (principalities)
Against the rulers of darkness (against the rulers of darkness)
Against spiritual wickedness (against spiritual wickedness)
In the high places all is a fact (is a fact)
That Satan's on your track (satan's on your track)
And suddenly without any warning he launches attack
So you better make sure that you know
That wherever you may go
That you have the sword which is the word of God deep down in your soul

For we wrestle but against (not against flesh and blood)
But against (principalities)
Against the rulers of darkness (against the rulers of darkness)
Against spiritual wickedness (against spiritual wickedness)
In the high places all is a fact (is a fact)
That Satan's on your track (satan's on your track)
And suddenly without any warning he launches attack
So you better make sure that you know
That wherever you may go
That you have a sword
Which is the word of God
Deep down in your soul

Oh, this is what you have to know
You can't fight this battle on your own
You need the power of God
Rooted and grounded in your life
Oh yes you do
This is what the Bible says (we need the armor)
That we need the armor (we need the armor)
The whole armor of God (we need the armor)
Oh yes we do (we need the armor of the lord)
We've got to put on (we need the armor)
The helmet of salvation
Oh yes we do

And we've got to wear (we need the armor of the lord)
The breastplate (we need the armor)
The breastplate of righteousness (we need the armor of the lord)
Oh yes we do (we need the armor)
And we've got to wear (we need the armor of the lord)
The strong belt, the strong belt of truth
We've got to have a good device
Oh yes we do
And we've got to put on our shoes
I said we've got to wear the shoes

The preparations of the gospel
The gospel of peace
I said we need the armor
The whole armor of God
But upon all, I said upon all, upon all, upon everything else
We need to fight, I said we need to fight
We carry the shield of faith
We can't make it any better without it, no no no no no no
We need the armor
Whole armor of God

So we can walk right, talk right, pray right, live right, walk right, talk right, pray right, live right
We got to walk in the spirit
We got to talk, speak God's word
We got to pray
Pray right, pray right, pray right, pray right, pray right
Get on our knees and pray right
We got to get on our knees and pray right
Pray right, pray right, pray right
Pray right so we can live
Live on, live on, live on

The way God wants us to live
Live on according to his word
Live long, live right, live on, live right
Holy, holy, holy, holy
I wanna live my life holy
I wanna live my life holy
Just like Jesus, just like Jesus, just like Jesus
Just like Him, holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
I wanna be filled with the spirit
I wanna be filled with the Holy Ghost
Pray, pray, always, always, always, without ceasing, pray
