Every warrior of Christ faces adversity.  The enemy does not allow you a breath between battles. Yet, when faith does arise in one’s heart strings you’ll declare…

I’m still here…

You may barely rise from the ashes

When another tsunami blows in

But anchor your sword down deeply

Brace yourself in the wind.

And declare…

I’m still here…

He’ll send you every taunting demon

Multitudes of voices shall arise

But silence at once will your enemies

As the fear does leave from your eyes.

As you declare…

I’m still here…

The arrows that fly now at noonday 

To pierce every vision and dream

Sent to stir up doubt and steal peace

From promises that, yes, Christ will keep.

So Declare…

I’m still here…

When death does come ever closely

And shallow your pulse barely beats

Give a good grin in your Spirit

For now is his coming defeat.

As you declare…

I’m still here…
