 1  Fight the battle in the Body,

       Never fight it on your own;

    With the Body to the Head joined,

       Fight the battle on the throne.

 

Fight the battle in the Body!

   By the virtue of the Head;

Standing firmly with the Body,

   Into vict'ry you'll be led.

 

 2  For the Body is God's armor,

       Not for anyone alone;

    When you wrestle in the Body,

       All its benefits you own.

 

Fight the battle in the Body!

   By the virtue of the Head;

Standing firmly with the Body,

   Into vict'ry you'll be led.

 

 3  'Tis the Church on Christ established

       Satan shall not overpow'r;

    'Tis the Body built together

       Which resists the evil pow'r.

 

Fight the battle in the Body!

   By the virtue of the Head;

Standing firmly with the Body,

   Into vict'ry you'll be led.

 

 4  In the Body, by the Headship,

       Sitting in the heavenlies,

    Struggle with the wicked spirits

       And the principalities.

 

Fight the battle in the Body!

   By the virtue of the Head;

Standing firmly with the Body,

   Into vict'ry you'll be led.

 

 5  As a member of the Body,

       With the brethren stand for God;

    Praying always in the Spirit,

       Claim the vict'ry through the Blood.

 

Fight the battle in the Body!

   By the virtue of the Head;

Standing firmly with the Body,

   Into vict'ry you'll be led.

 

 6  In the heav'nlies more than conqu'ror,

       In the power of His might,

    As a soldier in the army,

       In the Lord the battle fight.

 

Fight the battle in the Body!

   By the virtue of the Head;

Standing firmly with the Body,

   Into vict'ry you'll be led.

 

 7  Keep on wrestling in the Body,

       Mighty vict'ry you will see,

    Bind and loose, God's will fulfilling,

       And the foes your food will be.

 

Fight the battle in the Body!

   By the virtue of the Head;

Standing firmly with the Body,

   Into vict'ry you'll be led.
