Medley
St. Laurence O'Toole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The enemy's defeated
The enemy's defeated,
The battle is the Lord's
The righteous are forgiven
The victory is yours
O the fire is spreading,
The glory of the Lord
The enemy's defeated
The victory is yours
Fire of gold falling from above
Holy fire burning in our hearts
Fire of love spreading from within
I'm on fire and
The fire is spreading fast

I am not ashamed
I am not ashamed
Of the Gospel of His name
For it is the power,
The power of my salvation
I am not ashamed, no way,
Of the Gospel of His kingdom
I have been delivered,
Jesus set me free!




I'm saved, S.A.V.E.D.
I'm saved, Jesus set me free!

Overall Meaning

The song "Medley" by St. Laurence O'Toole is an uplifting and victorious song that praises the Lord for defeating the enemy and granting salvation to the righteous. The first verse repeats the phrase "the enemy's defeated" four times, emphasizing the triumph over evil and the victory that belongs to the Lord. The second part of the verse declares that the battle is the Lord's and that the righteous are forgiven, emphasizing the power of God's forgiveness and the importance of faith in Him. The chorus then adds to this sense of triumph, with the fire of the Lord spreading and filling our hearts with His glory. The second verse continues the theme of salvation, with the singer declaring their lack of shame in the Gospel of Jesus' name and kingdom, and expressing gratitude for being set free by Him.


Overall, this song is a celebration of God's power and the victory of faith in Him over adversity, sin, and shame. The repetitive nature of the lyrics reinforces the message that the enemy has indeed been defeated and that the victory belongs to the Lord.

Anyone can Say what they want about the performance, they are entitled to their opinion. If you play in a competing pipe band and you know how much work and effort that goes into what happens on the day then when folk say "that's rubbish" or heavy criticise you kinda have to question what is motivating that. I believe there can be alot of Jealousy out there in the pipe band world. People think others are Arrogant or "up theirsel" but alot of the time it's confidence and Success and those are things to be admired and emulated.
Personally , have I heard St Lawrence sound better? Yeah I have. But I know that the day was a difficult day, the conditions were awful. I think most bands would be overjoyed to produce what is going on here on their best day!
Good Effort, Good Win and Congratulations.

@John Hauber It's always about who had the better day!

linda stonier

I agree! Some people can be really jealous through their friendly masks!

John Hauber

And the judges are unequivocally with you on this one. The champion isn't the best band, it's the band that plays best on the day.

Linda Bratsch

How sweet the sound…! 🎶

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

In case anyone was in doubt about what constitutes a grade 1 band, doubt no more.

WOW are they good.

Melanie Mullan

People who criticise this sort of performance have no idea. Playing at this level , everyone plays a safe set!! that does not mean this is by any means easy. The Timing is exceptional the phrasing excellent!!! and everybody knows SLOT can be very very dynamic. Then the Weather ...which is always a pain in the arse. Top Job!!!!!

Alexander Wallace

A lot of the time competition Piping is about the utter absence of flaws. There will be half a dozen superb bands but only one is flawless. This may have been no better than half a dozen other great bands, but none of them were as flawless as this

Richard Beattie

Superb! On a day where weather was awful and conditions underfoot worse. Really well done to slot on the win and every other band for taking part and playing so well also.
