Battle In The Air



BATTLE IN THE AIR  

An awesome battle in the air, You can't see but it's there.  
Angels up in the sky fighting demons on high.          
Michael fights with Satan invisible in the sky          
a never ending raging war until the day I die.

The words and deeds I live are the swords that I give
to those angels in the sky always fighting til I die.
Your also in this conflict to save your soul from the pit
For paradise and  hell both seek your soul to dwell.

Michael fights with Satan and Gabriel helps him too.  
So watch your walk and your talk and everything you do.
Praise God and His Son for dying on Calvary's tree
for with Christ's grace I know I will win the victory.

Oh yes, when breath is gone,  No more this life to roam
For absent from the body Is living in God's home.
And Gabriel's  angels  guide me to that land of sweet accord
When I  have won the battle  And live always  with the Lord.

About this poem
