Chords for The Battle is the Lords - Rebecca St. James

Well, he's been good to us this weekend because we have a guest in the house.
I know many of you will know who this is, but Rebecca St.
James is with us tonight.
_ [G] And it's such an honor, and I had the privilege of singing on a song of hers recently.
And we've become great friends, and [G] we thought it would be such a treat to have her here in our house
and to sing a song that has meant a lot to you, has meant a lot to me, especially even in the past few days.
As many of you know, in this season, you can just be overtaken by panic and anxiety,
but how many of you know that's not who we're called to be?
And so I wanted Rebecca just to share a little bit behind this song, and then we're going to lead it tonight.
And _ in case you didn't know, your voices are being recorded tonight.
So you're going to sing it like you've heard it a million times, right?
Right?
So I just wanted to give you an opportunity to share.
And yeah, it's an honor to have you here tonight.
Thank you.
Well, Brandon, I'm so thankful that you were willing to sing on the song with me and do this duet.
And thank you so much for letting me be a part of your church family tonight.
It's an honor to be with you.
This song is called The Battle is the Lord's, and definitely for me in this season, if you're anything like me,
there's been a struggle to not just live in fear and let waves of fear kind of just overcome my spirit.
And this song just reminds me that the battle is His, that He goes before me to fight my battles.
There's no fear in His love.
Perfect love casts out fear.
Amen. _ _
And so the song starts out, Why so heavy, O my soul?
Our souls do not have to be heavy, even in this crazy season.
And so let's come before Him tonight.
Let's sing this out.
The battle is the Lord's.
Make this your battle cry tonight, your victory cry.
Let's sing it out.
