Daniel James: Music
Prayer On My Lips
(Daniel James)
May 1, 2007
Daniel James Martinusen
No matter what it is you are facing, whether it is a physical or a spiritual battle, there is hope when you put your trust in God. Prayer is like putting on your armor before going into battle. It is surrendering yourself completely into the Father’s hands, so that whatever happens, you can be sure it will be right and in accordance with His purpose and will. I wrote “Prayer on my Lips” while facing a difficult battle of my own, in which I had desperately trusted in God to intervene. God proved Himself faithful and delivered me! We should always be looking ahead to His promises, never fixing our eyes upon the storm itself, but upon the blessing that is just ahead when we put our hope and trust in God.
I’m nearing the from lines
The battle will rage
All through the night and into the day
Though my foes slay me
I’ll keep my faith
The battle is yours, oh Lord
You’re leading the way
(Chorus)
With prayer on my lips and a song in my heart
I’ll enter the battle
I’ll do my part
But I’ll lift up your banner before I start
With prayer on my lips and a song in my heart
Shots from the enemy
I hear in my sleep
But I’ve sown in love and I plan to reap
Lord, fill me with boldness
And cast out my fears
I’m trusting you, Lord my God
The battle is near
(Repeat chorus)
