Long has Satan fought, resisting
Faithful sons of God,
So the fighting church should notice,
Spread the message broad.

Hosts of darkness now are gathered,
Conflict has begun,
So the fighting church must gather
Those who’ll fight, not run.

Are there rebels still in God’s court
Who still love this age?
If the church is not aggressive,
Battle we’ll not wage.

Who’s afraid to fight the devil,
Dare the enemy?
If the saints shrink from Christ’s kingdom,
Shameful they will be.

There’s no other choice.
Where’s the fighting church, God-fearing?
Fealty we must voice.

Lo, God’s Conqu’ror still is conqu’ring;
Rise, assume His might!
Fighting church, on Calv’ry’s hillside
He did win the fight!
Rise, assume His might!

Once He fully faced the devil,
We must face him too,
Else the fighting church can only
Other troops review.

Christ is calling overcomers.
Who would please the King?
Now the fighting church should put on
Armor threatening.
