WAR IN HEAVEN

They enthroned him as god
And he reigned over them
For a time and times
And half a time
He a brutal master
They a sold slave
Sold under sin
How helpless they struggled
Under the brutal slave master
Their souls cried for relieve
In the heart of endless toil
Heading for the heart of the soil
But in the din of harsh cries
There comes a still small voice
It was the shout of Arch Angel
Then war broke out in Heaven
That exalted place of Power
Where the god of wickedness
Wielded his royal scepter
Michael fought along with His ministers
The dragon and his agents fought back
But theirs was an effort futile
Against the Sword of the Spirit
And the Blood of the Lamb
There was no place found
In Heaven for the dragon
And his army any more
For they were cast
To lowly earth of humiliation
In the rubble of frustration
He troubles those
Whose mind dwells still on earth
For his time is short
But those who whose affection
Leans on things above
Are filled with joy
For they are now seated
In Heavenly places
And their mind stays on God
Free from bondage
To reign with Christ
Over their own flesh
Now is come the salvation
And the power
And the kingdom of our God
And the authority of his Christ
Because he who says evil
Against our brothers
Before our God
Day and night
Is forced down
And they overcame him
Through the blood of the Lamb
And the word of their witness
And loving not their lives
They freely gave themselves up to death
Be glad then O heavens
And you who are in them
But there is trouble
For the earth and the sea
Because the Evil One
Has come down to you
Being very angry
Having the knowledge
That he has but a short time
Are you still in the earth?
