War
Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put them together, come on
Put them together
I got joy in my soul
God is in control
I got Satan on my trail
But I'm singing all is well
But I'm watching while I pray
No matter the attack
I won't turn back
This means war this means war
This means war this means war
This means war this means war (put 'em together)
I got joy in my soul
God is in control
I got Satan on my trail
But I'm singing all is well
He's attacking everyday
But I'm watching while I pray
No matter the attack
I won't turn back
This means war this means war
This means war this means war
This means war this means war
I plead the blood, I plead, I plead the blood
There's power in the blood (I plead, I plead the blood)
Healing in the blood (I plead, I plead the blood)
Power in the blood (I plead, I plead the blood)
I've been in the storm and the rain
But the blood still stays the same
Whatever's going wrong
My war clothes are on
I might be in a daze
But you can't have my praise
No matter the attack
I won't turn back
This means war
This means war (this means war)
This means war (this means war)
I plead the blood, I plead, I plead the blood
I plead, I plead the blood
I plead, I plead the blood
I plead, I plead the blood
You can't have my family
You can't have my increase
You can't have my breakthrough
You can't have my, you can't have my
You can't, you can't, you can't, I plead
I plead the blood, I plead, I plead the blood
There's power in the blood (I plead, I plead the blood)
It's a prod protection (I plead, I plead the blood)
It's a proud provision (I plead, I plead the blood) this means
This means war
There's power in your prayer (this means war)
That changes thing (this means war)
You can't take this lion down (this means war)
Said this means (this means war)
This means war
Five, six, seven, eight
Put them together, come on
Say, you can't have my family
You can't have my increase
You can't have my breakthrough
You say, you can't have my, you can't have my
You can't, you can't you can't, I plead
I plead, I plead the blood
There's power in the blood (I plead, I plead the blood)
Healing in the blood (I plead, I plead the blood)
Deliver us in the blood (I plead, I plead the blood)
This means war this means war
(Whatever the enemy is attacking you got say)
This means war this means war (you can be breaking down and falling out)
This means war this means war (you gon' break out your prayer, break out your word)
This means war this means war (you gon' break out some praise)
This means war this means war (last time)
This means war this means war (somebody clap your hands, it's a wrap)
That's all you got, that's all you got, that's all you got?
The lyrics to Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago's song "War" express the singer's unyielding faith and determination in the face of spiritual warfare. The repeated refrain "This means war" is a declaration that the believer will not back down or give up in the face of adversity, but will instead put on their "war clothes" and fight back through prayer, praise, and the power of the blood of Jesus. The first verse sets up the story of the ongoing attack from Satan, but the singer remains steadfast in their faith, declaring that God is in control and they will not turn back. The second verse emphasizes the power of pleading the blood of Jesus and the importance of remaining strong in the face of setbacks.
One of the most noteworthy elements of the song is its use of repetition, both in the lyrics and in the rhythmic clapping that punctuates the song. The repeated refrain of "This means war" and the repeated plea to "plead the blood" create a powerful sense of urgency and persistence. Additionally, the use of military language and imagery, such as "war clothes" and "lion," further underscores the idea that the fight against evil is a battle that requires strength, courage, and determination.
Overall, the lyrics to "War" offer a message of hope and encouragement to believers who may be struggling with spiritual attacks or setbacks. The song emphasizes the power of prayer, praise, and faith in the face of adversity, and encourages listeners to put on their "war clothes" and fight back against the enemy.
