Analysis of Life is a battlefield



Life is a battlefield.
Children, I hear your cries.
You are not seeing me.
You are not hearing me.
Turn off from this world.

Wake up my children.
See me.
Follow me.
I will protect.
Just choose me.

You are not of this world.
Do not conform.
Turn onto me.
Stand on the front line.

Those who will not follow.
I cannot protect.
Remove yourself from this world.
The enemy will be revealed.  

You are protected by the blood.
Follow me to victory.
I am your trust.
Lean and rely on me.  

You are salt and light.
I have drawn you out of darkness.
Serve me and I will protect.

I AM greater than who is in this world.
Hear my words.
I AM your God.
