Looking at the world today What do you see People like you and I Waiting to be free Do we even have a chance It is hard to tell With all this fighting and killing This could be hell
[Chorus] Have you been discouraged Hard times bringing you down Fight on! I know you can make it Prove it to yourself
Working hard just to survive Can it be done? We're only trying to make life better for our son All I want is to serve my purpose Can't get past today Will there always be someone Trying to take it away
[Chorus]
Listen now to what I say To all that have dared You got to change your ways I know that you`re scared Fear not the Lord is with us He can save us all My hope lies in his hands Please hear his call
[Chorus]
The spirit of Gideon Lives in the hearts Of any determined band That refuses to be discouraged By hopeless odds And fights on to victory \"By the sword of the Lord and of Gideon\"
