Analysis of You Shall Overcome
I'm not here to argue, nor am I here to debate,
but expect things to accelerate.
Things may get dark, but there is no reason to fear.
For Jesus shall return; He shall appear.
The battles aren't over, but the war's already won.
Trust in Christ the Lord, and you shall overcome.
