Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If the enemy's got you down
So you look to friends and loved ones
But there's no help to be found
So you try to keep on fighting
But the battle's been long and hard
And the enemy keeps raging
Keep the faith
To the end
Fight the fight
You will win
Stand your ground
Don't give in
Hang on in there
For your deliverance is nigh
You should hang on in there
The battle will be over by and by
Everyday there's a brand new
Attack from Satan's hand
And he tries so hard to make you
Run away again and again
Everyday you're faced with something
You've never dealt with before
As you seek the Lord for guidance
Your faith he will restore
Keep the faith
To the end
Fight the fight
You will win
Stand your ground
Don't give in
Hang on in there
(Oh)
For your deliverance is nigh
Oh just hang on in there
(Oh yeah)
The battle will be over by and by
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood
But against powers and principality
So fear not when you are in distress
But just know that in Christ there is victory
So you pray to Him for power
And for strength to overcome
Then by faith you start to praise Him
(Hallelujah)
For the battle is clearly won
Keep the faith
'Til the end
Fight the fight
You'll win
Stand your ground
But don't give in
Just hang on in there
(Oh oh oh yes)
For your deliverance is nigh
Saints just hang on in there
(Oh)
The battle will be over by and by
(Yi)
All you got to do is just hang on in there
Don't you know your deliverance is nigh
You should just hang on in there
(Oh oh oh oh yes)
The battle will be over by and by
(Yi yi)
Hang on hang on in there
Don't you know that your deliverance
Your deliverance your deliverance is nigh
(Yeah)
Church just hang on in there
(Oh hey yeah)
The battle will be over by and by

Attack from Satan's hand
An assault from Satan's influence
And he tries so hard to make you
He strives to get you to
Run away again and again
Repeatedly flee
Everyday you're faced with something
Each day presents a new obstacle
You've never dealt with before
That you've never confronted
As you seek the Lord for guidance
As you look to God for direction
Your faith he will restore
He will renew and strengthen your faith
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood
Our fight is not against physical enemies
But against powers and principality
But against spiritual forces and authority
So fear not when you are in distress
Don't be frightened when facing hardship
But just know that in Christ there is victory
Just know that victory is found through Christ
So you pray to Him for power
You ask God for strength
And for strength to overcome
And for the ability to overcome
Then by faith you start to praise Him
Then with faith, you begin to praise God
For the battle is clearly won
For the victory has been achieved

Just continue to persevere

Believers, keep persevering
The battle will be over by and by
The fight will come to an end at some point
