The Last Battle...

So this week is Chemo no.12.
The last battle between Folfiri and the tumours...for the time being.
As discussed previously, my hopes are that this will be all I need.
Sometimes I feel I am spookily close to that goal.
A man called Meredith came and preached at our church today.
He has suffered chronic and terrible spinal and leg pain for 22 years.
He referred a lot to 2 Corinthians 12, which is the passage about the thorn in Paul's side.
One of the things Meredith said was that God gives us one day at a time.
We have a choice to live it in Hurt or in Hope.
Sometimes it doesn't feel like we CAN choose Hurt or Hope.
But when it does seem we can, Hope is definitely the way that is lit up.

  1. Roasted steel in hands
    Holy fire in hearts
    In mouth the words: "Stand up
    It`s time to rush into battle!"
    Our enemy has oppressed us so long
    That our people are accustomed to enslavement
    But let`s straighten them back with bravery
    We`ll strike down the forces of darkness with sword.
    Waves are carrying
    An old drakkare
    Church of Christ
    In the last battle.

    Hey, brother, boldly
    Hold your steering wheel
    Our God strikes down all the forces of evil
    In the last battle, In the last battle.
    Freedom was becoming so expensive for us
    God poured His blood for it
    We have to keep It now
    And bring liberation to others
    Our enemy has no chance now
    The angels of darkness will not stay
    And we`ll strike down all
    The forces of darkness by sword of truth.

    Red-hot sword, sword of steel
    Hold it strongly
    There will be battle and there will be victory
    Against angels of darkness.
    Red-hot sword, holy sword
    Hold it strongly
    There will be battle and there will be victory
    Against the army of Satan.

  2. Is that copyrighted? If so, it probably shouldn't be on here without permission.

    Who wrote it?
