We will overcome
By the blood
Of the Lamb
Who was slain
We continue looking at lyrics to our original song, "We Will Overcome",from our second EP titled If My People...
This song that came about as a result of being part of a play written by Mark Eulo called the Unveiling the Son of Man: The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Part 1 based on the first five chapters of Revelation.
How do you overcome adversity? By the blood of the Lamb. When we are placed in tough situations that we cannot get our way out of, especially defending our faith, the only hope we have is in Jesus Christ.
We have various forms of adversity everyday - some small and some overwhelming. In all things we are to come to the Lord and press into His strength, which is never ending. We do not have the answers to every problem and sometimes we get in our own way and cause more angst for ourselves.
"We will overcome" is a statement of intent. It is not a matter of "if" or "maybe," but a definite "yes". We don't overcome because we are so wonderful. We overcome "by the blood of the Lamb who was slain". He is the One who gives us the victory.
When facing difficulty today, remember you are an overcomer.
Scriptures:
"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. (Revelation 12:11)
Prayer:
Lord, help us to remember that our strength and hope is in You. Thank you for Your sacrifice so that we can be overcomers through You. Amen.
