Verse 1
I remember a time I thought I was standing
Then I took for granted our foe
I let down my guard, became lax in duty
Then I suffered a sharp painful blow
I recall as I lay on that cold battle field
Wondering if I would survive
Then I saw in the distance an old blood soaked
banner
That brought to my courage new life
Chorus
I might have gone down in the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
I still bear the scars where I have been wounded
It looks like they'll be there for life
But soon this conflict will end for God's mighty
army
It will be worth the toil and strife
I might have gone down in the heat of the battle
But don't count me out of the fight
Verse 2
As Jesus once walked up the hill of Golgotha
Knowing what waited ahead
The army of angels listened for orders
To wipe out the whole world instead
But He looked through the battle and saw a great
victory
Denying Himself for the cause
Though He still bears the scars from the heat of
the battle
He overthrew evil for all
