Analysis of I Have Moved



I have moved from there
Jesus has me now
Fears and doubts all passed
Let me tell you how

Jesus said, my child
I do all things well
When you thought I was gone
I was holding back hell

You see, my friend
The angels I command
To watch over you
And bring comfort too

But without the fight
And without the battle
There is no victory
There is no medal

So do stand firm
Don't avoid the fight
It's to prove that God
Is your help and your might
