Heat Of The Battle - Mike Bowling
I remember a time I thought I was standing
Then I took for granted our foe
I let down my guard became lax in duty
Then I suffered a sharp painful blow
I recall as I lay on that cold battle field
Wondering if I would survive
Listen
Then I saw in the distance
An old blood soaked banner
That brought to my courage new life
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
I still bear the scars
Where I have been wounded
It looks like
They'll be there for life
But soon this conflict
Will end for God's mighty army
It will be worth the toil and strife
Listen well
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
As Jesus once walked up the hill of Golgotha
Knowing what waited ahead
The army of angels listened for orders
To wipe out the whole world instead
But He looked through the battle
And saw a great victory
Denying Himself for the 'cause
Though He still bears the scars
From the heat of the battle
He overthrew evil for all
Yes indeed
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
I still bear the scars
Where I have been wounded
It looks like
They'll be there for life
But soon this conflict
Will end for God's mighty army
It will be worth the toil and strife
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
Don't count me out of the fight
Yeah
I still bear the scars
Where I have been wounded
It looks like
They'll be there for life
But soon this conflict
Will end for God's mighty army
It will be worth the toil and strife
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
Yes
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
