You Don’t Have to Fight, Stand Still
[Intro]
That's what victory sounds like, too, right?
I just imagine just marching like
And God broadcasting our steps
Into the enemy's camp, you know what I'm saying?
We might have been walking softly at first
But then we start hearing the echo
Of these steps
What we don't know is that the enemy has already left
And there's like God saying, "You don't have to fight no more"
[Chorus]
The battle belongs to Jesus
The battle belongs to Jesus
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
The battle belongs to Jesus
The victory is ours
Shout it, come on, say
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more ([?])
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
(The battle belongs to Jesus) The battle belongs to Jesus
(Victory) The victory is ours
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more (You don't have to fight)
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
The battle belongs to Jesus
The victory is ours
Victory is ours
[Bridge]
Yeah, so stand still
Stand still and see
The amazing salvation of the Lord
Stand still
Stand still and see
We have the victory
Stand still
(Stand still) Stand still and see
(The amazing salvation) The amazing salvation of the Lord
Stand still
Stand still and see
(Sing: "We have the victory) We have the victory
A little louder, come on, say
Stand still
Stand still and see
(The amazing salvation) The amazing salvation of the lord
Stand still (Yeah)
Stand still and see
(We have, say) We have the victory
[Chorus]
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more (I just love that)
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more (Say that, come on)
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
(The battle belongs to Jesus) The battle belongs to Jesus
The victory is ours
[Bridge]
(Stand still, stand still, you remember?) Stand still, oh
Stand still and see
The amazing salvation of the Lord
Stand still
Stand still and see
We have the victory
[Interlude]
Oh, tell me, who can go before us?
With me, call on that great name
Jesus, Jesus
Precious Jesus
We have the victory
[Chorus]
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more
You don't have to fight no more, fight no more (I feel good)
The battle belongs to Jesus
The victory is ours
[Outro]
God is fighting for us
Pushing back the darkness
Lighting up the Kingdom
That cannot be shaken
In the name of Jesus
Enemies defeated
And we will shout it out, shout it out
(God is fighting) God is fighting for us
Pushing back the darkness
Lighting up the Kingdom (Lighting up the Kingdom)
That cannot be shaken
In the name of Jesus
Enemies defeated
And we will shout it out, shout it out
