The Heat of the Battle
by Mike Bowling

Album: Where I Stand

I remember a time I thought I was standing
Then I took for granted our foe
I let down my guard, became lax in duty
Then I suffered a sharp painful blow
And I recall as I lay on that cold battlefield
Wondering if I would survive
Then I saw in the distance
An old blood-soaked banner
That brought to my courage new life

I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
I still bear the scars
Where I have been wounded
It looks like they'll be there for life
But soon this conflict will end
For God's mighty army
It will be worth the toil and the strife
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight

As Jesus once walked up
The hill of Golgotha
Knowing what waited ahead
The army of angels listened for orders
To wipe out the whole world instead
But He looked through the battle
And saw a great victory
Denying Himself for the cause
Though He still bears the scars
From the heat of the battle
He overthrew evil for all

I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
I still bear the scars
Where I have been wounded
It looks like they'll be there for life
But soon this conflict will end
For God's mighty army
It will be worth the toil and the strife
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight

I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
'Cause I still bear the scars
Where I have been wounded
It looks like they'll be there for life
But soon this conflict will end
For God's mighty army
It will be worth the toil and the strife
I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight

Yes, I might have gone down
In the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
