But We Trust...and Rejoice

Scripture Passage: Psalm 20-21

We studied Psalm 20 and 21, where God's people pray for the King before battle and praise Him for victory after. Psalm 20 calls us to trust in the name of the Lord our God; Psalm 21 calls us to rejoice in His saving strength. Because Christ has already won the victory through His death and resurrection, we bring our daily battles to Him in prayer and praise Him for the deliverance He has secured.

What is Trinity Fellowship - North Jefferson, AL?

In recent years, members of Redeemer Community Church from across north Jefferson County began praying and dreaming together about seeing a similar church planted in their community. This had already happened once before in Homewood when Grace Fellowship was planted in 2017 and they wondered whether it could happen where they lived. The more they prayed and discussed this with the leadership of these two churches, the more it became clear that God was leading them to partner together to plant Trinity Fellowship.

The long-term aim is for Trinity to be an independent church that continues to partner with the Redeemer family of churches in celebrating and declaring the gospel across the region.

[candidate_1]
Lord, I pray that you really would open our eyes to behold wondrous things in your word.
Pray that for us here.
We pray that for the children's classes as well going on right now as they hear your
words too.
And Lord, as we hear your word, Lord, I pray that you'd help us to respond that we would
be a people who not only acknowledge the prayers that we read in your word, but you would
shape us into a praying people.
We pray this in Jesus' name, amen.
Well, as we look together at Psalms 20 and 21 this morning, we see, as we said a moment
ago, they both deal with the victory of the King, but they do so from two distinct vantage
points.
So Psalm 20 is kind of before the battle, Psalm 21 is after the victory that was won in
the battle.
So bring us back to kind of World Cup.
You can think of one as like being in the locker room before the game.
You know, when you've got the kind of pre-game speech to motivate the team, that's that
Psalm 20.
And then you get to Psalm 21 and you're kind of on the pitch after the team is finally
won.
You've got one team is falling down and their devastated and the other team is jumping
up and just kind of exuberant joy.
That is Psalm 21, all right, but both surrounding the victory of the King.
So as we look at this, we're going to hopefully see things that will help us in the spiritual
battles that we face in this world.
And they show us also how to live out the victory that is ours in Christ Jesus.
And so we're going to look at basically two things in terms of application, all right.
So Psalm 20, first of all, teaches us this to trust in the name of the Lord our God.
So we're praying, trusting in the name of the Lord our God.
So when you look at the Psalm as a whole, you look at verses one to five, you see that
it begins with David's people, as it were, God's people, speaking a kind of corporate
blessing over the King, over him.
And while it's directed to David, it's not a kind of like Oprah-esque power of positive
thinking kind of thing that they're saying to David here, they are putting their hope
in the Lord.
They're saying, these are the things that we are looking to God for you, the Lord is our
hope.
They say, they say, may the Lord answer, may the Lord protect, may the Lord send help,
give support, remember, and so on.
You see that throughout this kind of corporate blessing that they say over David.
And you get to verses six to eight, and you see it's now coming from the vantage point
of David, and you see that kind of full assurance coming from him.
It's almost like the pinnacle of the Psalm.
He says, you know, verse six, now I know the Lord saves his anointed.
He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand.
So he is confident the Lord has heard his prayer and will save him in power.
His enemies will fall, but in the end he will remain standing because he is standing in
the Lord.
And then you come to verse nine and it brings the Psalm to a close with a final prayer
from the whole congregation which sums up what's just been said, oh Lord, save the King.
May he answer us when we call.
Once again, all of this was looking forward to the day when the Lord would save his final
anointed, the Christ, Christ Jesus.
And so you see this, for example, in Jesus' earthly ministry, he predicted his death.
He talked about how he was going to die, but he also said that three days later he was
going to rise again.
You can see that in the gospels as you read through.
So he knows that victory is coming.
Hebrews 5.7 says it this way, but it speaks about him praying.
In similar ways, we see in this Psalm, it says that Jesus offered up prayers and supplications.
Well, who is he praying to?
To him who was able to save him from death, says, and he was heard.
We know that he was heard.
Three days later he rose again victorious from the grave.
So today we don't just look forward, hoping that God will save our King.
Now we look back knowing that God did hear from heaven, and he saved his anointed.
He saved Christ by raising him from the dead.
He vindicated his lordship, human wisdom, and power would have avoided the cross altogether.
But Jesus was fulfilling a greater plan, the plan of salvation, because through his death
and resurrection he defeated the powers of sin and death.
In other words, he accomplished our salvation to go back to what we said before.
His victory is our victory.
So knowing this, how should we respond?
Well, here's the kind of really the central point of application here in the psalm.
It's in verse 7.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
So here's how we're to respond by trusting in the name of the Lord our God and the battles that we face.
So what does it mean to trust in his name?
Well, the Lord's name is mentioned like three times in the text in verse one.
It's mentioned again in verse five.
It's mentioned again in verse seven, where we look for protection.
It's where we look for, it's our banner in the battles that we face.
It's where we place our trust.
Let's talk about the Lord's name here.
It's not talking about using the Lord's name as some kind of like magical incantation.
It's throwing it in the direction of what you're facing.
Now, it's speaking about God's self-disclosure.
That's what scripture talks about when it talks about the Lord's name.
It is who God has shown himself to be in his word.
And for us today, it's who he has shown himself to be in the person of his son, Jesus reveals the name of God.
This is who he is.
So to trust in the Lord's name is to trust in the Lord himself, not just some vague notion of God,
but to trust in the God who has shown himself in scripture and in the person of Jesus Christ.
What does it mean to trust in him?
Well, there's lots of places we can look in scripture, but to press into the specific word that's used here,
an unusual word is used for the word trust.
It gives the idea here of extoling or boasting about something.
So it's like you're so confident in this thing, you're putting it out there for others to see.
It's like when it talks about our, the Lord is our banner, right?
It's that kind of confidence being put in him.
And so you've got two options being put before us here.
Verse seven, some trust in horses and chariots.
Well, what is that?
It's like some trust in military might, human strength that they can see.
To kind of put it in modern language is be like some trust in like stealth bombers and nuclear weapons.
It's a boast in those things.
It's almost like a military parade or a flyover, something like that.
Some boast in those things, but we will boast in the name of the Lord our God.
All the power that you can think of in this world.
Some people, yeah, they trust in those things, but we trust in a far greater power.
The power of the Lord our God.
This is what David learned to boast in early on.
Remember when he faced Goliath, first Samuel chapter 17.
He was facing this giant and he says,
you come to me with a sword and with a spear,
but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, right?
So you got this display of strength here,
but I've got something greater than name of the Lord of hosts.
You've got the scene thing, but I've got the unseen thing that's greater.
It's what Paul boasted in when he was facing people who were preaching a false gospel,
a gospel of works, trusting in human wisdom.
He said this in Galatians 6.14,
far be it from me to boast,
except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.
This is what we're saying when we sing to him sometimes.
He says, I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no power, no wisdom,
but I will boast in Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection.
So to press this home to us,
what are you placing your confidence in this morning?
Is it in the things that you can see or is it in the name of the Lord?
Are you trusting in human strength or God's power?
Let's apply this to two areas.
What are you trusting in for your eternal salvation?
You see, the greatest trouble that we face in life is the trouble of sin and death.
So what are you placing your trust in to save you from that?
Know this, human strength cannot save you.
Your good works cannot save you.
No church, no institution can save you, not even this one, but I have wonderful news.
Romans 10, 13, whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
So salvation is calling upon the name of the Lord,
putting your trust in Jesus and his finished work.
What does that look like practically?
It's actually doing that.
Trusting in him is calling out to him prayer in prayer,
asking him to forgive your sin, to welcome you to himself, to make you his own.
Let's apply to another area.
Where are you looking in your daily battles?
Maybe you know, like you're saved from sin,
but where are you looking in just the day-to-day grind of life?
Some trust in horses and chariots.
Let's think of a specific example, finances.
All right, so of course, finances, they're a good thing.
And it's the gift of God that we're called to use, to be good stewards of,
and yet, although we use finances, we do not trust in our finances.
We trust in the name of the Lord our God,
who provides us all that we need to glorify him in this life.
And so if we're in a place where if financially things are going well,
we're feeling great, if things are tight or uncertain,
all of a sudden we're losing it, that's revealing where our trust is.
Is it in something like that, or is it in the name of the Lord?
So we can go on to lots of different examples of ways we can do
that it could be trusting in our own plans, our own wisdom.
It could be trusting in our job.
It could be trusting in our education, or our connections,
and we can go on and on.
And all of these things will ultimately fail us,
but the Lord remains forever, and he never, ever fails.
So what does it look like practically?
For us to trust him in the daily battles?
Well, it looks like praying about the troubles that we face.
Not just saying we believe in prayer,
but like actively committing those things to the Lord
and bringing others in, praying together about those things.
So when you're waiting on the biopsy results,
do you reach internally for your own resources
to help you through that, or do you look outwardly to the Lord?
We get others praying with you about that.
Some trust in horses and chariots,
but we trust in the name of the Lord God.
Let that be our refrain and all the battles that we face.
May you repeat that to yourself throughout this week.
Commit that verse to memory.
And also, this kind of practical trust in daily battles
looks like speaking faith-filled words to one another as well.
Let's remember these Psalms are communal.
They're calling out these things to one another.
May the Lord do this in your life.
And we need to hear that from each other.
There's times when I'm not trusting in the right things,
and I am living in fear,
but I hear faith coming from other people who are believing
on my behalf, and then that stirs faith within me
to look to the Lord once again.
We need the kind of encouragement we read about in this song.
We're calling out one to another to trust in the name
of the Lord our God.
All right, so that's Psalm 20.
So we trust in the name of the Lord,
and then Psalm 21, what do we do?
We rejoice in the strength of the Lord.
So Psalm 21, all right, is essentially praising God
for answering the prayer of Psalm 20, all right?
So David in Psalm 20 was looking to the Lord for victory,
and they were praying for it,
and then now the Lord has come through,
and so in chapter, or Psalm 20,
you've got joy overflowing because of the Lord's answer
to that prayer, all right?
So the central thing that the King is rejoicing in is what?
Verse 1, O Lord, in your strength, the King rejoices.
When you get to verse 13 at the very end of the Psalm,
it says, be exalted, O Lord, in your strength,
we will sing and praise your power.
But this isn't merely rejoicing in God's power
in a general sense.
It's rejoicing in God's power to save.
You see that in the second half, back in verse 1.
Yes, the King's rejoicing in the strength of the Lord,
and in your salvation, he greatly exalts.
So he's rejoicing that the Lord has employed his great power
to save him, right?
So there's a specificity to what he's rejoicing in.
I don't know if you've seen in different forms of media
recently, there's been some really low flyovers
that have been happening, and I guess Pensacola
is where you've got the blue angels flying through,
and you see it happen, and everybody's just gasping,
and then all of a sudden people are cheering and laughing,
and it's a time of great joy, and I'm sure it'd be a blast
to be there, and I'd love to see that in person sometime.
So that's one thing where you're rejoicing over the power
of the display of power that you've just seen.
But imagine that same scenario, but instead,
you're actually trapped somewhere in an actual battle,
and the actual jets that are coming through
are coming through to actually rescue you,
they're coming on a rescue mission.
She's got the same display of power there,
but there's a specific intent with the power.
So you feel the power, but you know that it is there to save you.
So that is the kind of power that Psalm 21 is rejoicing in.
God's power to save, and it's a power that David
has experienced personally.
It's a testimony Psalm.
Verses 2 to 7, he kind of goes on to explain further.
He talks about how the Lord has blessed him.
He's answered his prayer, giving him what he asked for.
He's exalted him and placed a crown of gold on his head.
He's extended his life.
He's made him glad with the joy of God's presence.
And because of the steadfast love of the Lord,
David knows that he will not be moved from this place.
The same thing cannot be said for David's enemies.
In verses 8 to 12 in the Psalm,
we see that kind of flip side of the blessing,
the defeat of the enemies.
The Lord who has lifted him up has brought them down.
And their defeat is described in kind of progressive language.
In verse 8, you've got the enemies being found.
In verse 9, you've got the enemies being consumed.
And then by the time you get to verse 10,
they are destroyed from the earth.
You get to verse 11, it kind of in an overview kind of way,
speaks about how they were unsuccessful
in their attempt to bring him down.
Those horses and chariots that they were putting their faith in,
failed them.
They were brought low, but the Lord never fails.
And he is highly exalted.
And he saved his anointed.
And the blessings that he bestows on his anointed,
flows out to the people living under his reign.
And so together they praise God.
His victory, once again, is their victory.
Let's return to Christ again.
This is pointing us to the exultation of Christ.
This is what it's talking about.
Hebrews chapter 12 in verse 2,
and it says, who for the, Jesus,
who for the joy that was set before him,
the kind of Psalm 21 joy we're reading about,
who for the joy that was set before him,
endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father.
All right, so he had this celebration,
this successful work of salvation in front of him,
as he went to endure the cross.
God gave Jesus his heart's desire.
He crowned him with glory and honor,
and he lives and reigns for ever more
at the right hand of the Father in whose presence
there is fullness of joy,
and he shall never be moved.
All the things we see here in Psalm 21,
speak directly to Jesus and his finished work.
But the blessings that are bestowed upon him,
flow out to us to quote Paul and Ephesians,
chapter 1 and verse 3,
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing
in the heavenly places to the praise of his glory.
So in Christ we are loved, in Christ we are saved,
and in Christ we are made holy before God,
and in Jesus' name we are invited to come
into God's presence with our prayers.
And one day we will rejoice together with Christ
as we enjoy our eternal inheritance.
David talks about how the enemies are finally defeated
and destroyed and all of that.
So there is coming a day when evil
and all the destruction that it has brought about
in this world will be done away with.
We will dwell with Christ in a perfect new creation
and perfect joy for ever.
We will praise God's name forever more.
This is pointing us to that ultimate joy
that we will experience when we come into the fullness
of the victory that God has brought about through Christ.
But I think this also doesn't just point us to that day,
it speaks to us now because now through the eyes of faith
we see and we trust in the victory of Christ on our behalf.
We can know when we read Psalm 21
and we see how the story ends,
we see that we are secure both now and forever in Christ.
And so when we're facing difficulty in life
we can know that we are secure in his hands.
And now by the help of the Holy Spirit
and we are filled with the Spirit,
we can rejoice in Christ even now.
Not just in, we can know the joy of God's presence,
even now in our life.
And as we do this, as we see and trust in the victory of Christ
and rejoice in the Spirit, this leads us to exalt
in the one who has brought all this about.
We glorify and praise God.
So we can be honest about the battles that we are facing.
But we also say with the Apostle Paul
in 1 Corinthians 15, 57, but thanks be to God
who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
So when we consider the daily battles that we face
and we seek God's help in,
we can also remember that something else is true.
Like yeah, we're trusting in the name of the Lord of God,
we're praying for the Lord to deliver us.
And at the same time we also praise God
because of deliverance he's already brought about
through Jesus, the eternal blessings he's given us in Christ.
We've come to see in our lives and in the lives of others.
So let's come to him now together in prayer.
So as we're gonna pray together,
so Psalm 20, remember it's teaching us
that the battles belong to the Lord that we're facing.
We can trust in him so we're gonna bring those things
to the Lord in prayer.
And as we do, we're gonna pray in light of Psalm 21
as well, praising God for the things
that we have seen him do in our lives.
All right, so as we come together to pray,
I want you to think of two things.
Like one, is there a specific area of prayer,
or a specific area of need that I would appreciate prayer for?
And maybe share that with the group that you pray with,
or you could be thinking like,
hey, this really good thing is happening.
We can praise God for that thing.
And if you're not sure what to pray about,
open your Bible up to Psalm 20 and 21,
or Ephesians 1 or something, and praise God
for all the spiritual blessings that we have in Christ,
that we have reasons to pray and praise.
All right, so how can we do this?
Well, let's just look around you.
And there's somebody near you, no matter where you're sat.
And if you're sat by yourself on a pew,
jump near somebody on a pew near you.
And we're gonna take, let's see, we've got,
what time is it?
944, all right, so we'll take,
let's make sure we spend time praying,
and not just sharing, all right?
So maybe take a couple of minutes to share
one or two prayer requests within the group,
and then take another five minutes to pray together
in light of what we have just been reading.
And then we'll come, and we'll sing one final song
to finish, all right?
So over to you to pray with those around you.

[candidate_2]
You're doing, but I know what you've done.
I'm fighting about all you've already won.
We're going to sing a new song this morning.
It's called Salvation Belongs to You.
It's a pretty simple song.
I think you'll catch on quick.
But it's just proclaiming that all the work has been done by our God.
There's nothing we can do to attain it or to earn it.
It's all in his hands.
So we're going to start off with the chorus just to get you familiar.
And then we'll jump into the verse.
So sing this chorus with me.
Salvation belongs to you.
Salvation belongs to you.
When it seems impossible, I know that you come through.
Salvation belongs to you.
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I rush you.
About me I hear.
To you only, the lifter of my hand.
Lay down and woke up.
Sustained by your name, surround me.
I will not be afraid.
Salvation belongs to you.
Salvation belongs to you.
When it seems impossible, I know that you come through.
Salvation belongs to you.
I'll sing that again.
You, oh Lord.
Oh Lord, I rush you.
About me I hear.
To you only, the lifter of my hand.
Lay down and woke up.
Sustained by your name, surround me.
I will not be afraid.
Salvation belongs to you.
Salvation belongs to you.
When it seems impossible, I know that you come through.
Salvation belongs to you.
This next section, let's just sing this to our souls.
It's all about preaching to ourselves.
So when you say, my soul, you are speaking to yourself.
So let's sing this together.
Stand firm, hold your position.
Wait on the Lord, your salvation.
My God, mighty to say.
My soul, stand firm.
Hold your position.
Wait on the Lord, your salvation.
My God, mighty to say.
My soul, stand firm.
Hold your position.
Wait on the Lord, your salvation.
My God, mighty to say.
Salvation belongs to you.
Salvation belongs to you.
When it seems impossible, I know that you come through.
Salvation belongs to you.
Just our voices.
Salvation belongs to you.
Salvation belongs to you.
When it seems impossible, I know that you come through.
Salvation belongs to you.
So God, we declare that this morning.
God, there is nothing that we can do in our strength through the gifts you've given us to attain your salvation.
We cannot have enough power, enough money, enough satisfaction in this life.
God, to ever come close to you.
But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, we have a hope and an inheritance that lasts for all eternity.
So God, I pray that we would rejoice in that this morning.
God, that we would worship you with our minds and our hearts.
God, in that your word, would go forth this morning.
God, in that we might be changed.
Lord, we ask all this in your name. Amen.
Kids can go out to their classes now, if they're not already.
If you would please take a Bible and turn with me to Psalm 20 and 21.
It's also in your worship guide, so it's there.
Inside, if you need that, we're going to be reading a portion of those Psalms here in just a second.
And I'm sure most of you are aware today is the World Cup Final.
Most watch sporting events in the world with billions of people who have been tuning in.
And it's come down to one game.
There's going to be one person who's going to score the winning goal and they're going to be rejoicing together with their team.
And as they do, there will be millions of fans celebrating their fellow countrymen and other fans around the world.
And as they celebrate, they're going to be saying, we won, we won.
And the reality is, they didn't do a thing to win.
It was actually the person who was, you know, the final goal, the team that did it.
And yet, they can all celebrate together, honestly, saying, yes, we won.
Their victory is our victory.
And so this morning, we're looking at one of the royal Psalms again.
And that is exactly what we're seeing in these royal Psalms.
That, yes, the people of Israel, they want King David to be victorious because his victory is also their victory.
And it's ultimately pointing us to the victory of King Jesus because in an infinitely greater way, Christ's victory is the victory of everyone who confesses Him as Lord.
His salvation from the grave is our salvation from sin and death.
His exaltation to the highest throne is the guarantee of our presence and eternal security.
And knowing this should change the way we view the battles we face in this life, just like we're saying, that first song.
We're finding battles that he is already won.
This is what I'm praying that we will see together as we briefly look at these two Psalms.
Now as we read these, most of the time we have somebody, like a reader, come to the front, but I'm going to pass this out to you guys.
We need somebody to read Psalm 20 verses 7 to 9 and somebody else to read Psalm 21 1 to 7.
I promise you, there's no long, difficult words in there.
So could I get a volunteer to stand and read Psalm 20 verses 7 to 9?
Thank you very much, David.
And before you read, could I get somebody else to be ready for Psalm 21 verses 1 to 7?
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Go ahead.

[candidate_3]
As you get done, finish praying, go ahead and stand with us as we close and song.
This is so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take him at his word, just to rest upon
his promise, just to know the say of the Lord.
It is so sweet to trust in Jesus, just from sin and self to seas, just from Jesus
and we take life and rest and joy and peace.
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him, how I've proved him or I know.
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, oh for grace to trust him more.
And oh how sweet to trust in Jesus, just to trust his cleansing blood, and in simple faith
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him, how I've proved him or I know.
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, oh for grace to trust him more.
I'm so glad I learned to trust him, precious Jesus, say your friend.
And I know that our friend will be with me to the end.
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him, how I've proved him or I know.
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, oh for grace to trust him more.
And I will build my house where the storm or drown on the rock that does not move.
I will send my hope in your love, O Lord, and your faithfulness will prove you are steadfast.
By the word you spoke, all the story-hosts are caught out by name each time.
And your watchful care, I will rest secure as you lead us with your life, and you are steadfast.
And I will not trust in the strength of kings on your promise I will stand.
I will shout for you, I will raise my voice, Hallelujah to the Lamb.
You are steadfast, you are steadfast.
And the moment of emptiness always fulfilled in the hour of darkness your life was revealed in the presence of death.
Your life was affirmed in the absence of holiness you are still God.
And you are steadfast.
And you are steadfast.
And you are steadfast.
Amen.
You went out these front doors to the church building here, it is this building over here to your left when you go out, or if you are picking up kids you can come down through the hallway and down the stairs and spend time with each other there.
Amen.
Amen.

[candidate_4]
This is the Word of the Lord.
Let's pray together.
Lord, thank you so much for the love that you have shown to us in Christ Jesus.
No matter what, danger we face, we can know that our lives are secure in Him.
Lord, we thank you that Jesus came to be our Savior from sin and death and hell.
Lord, we thank you that we can come to you comfortably this morning knowing that you provided
this way of salvation in Him.
Lord, we thank you that no matter what, danger we face in this world in terms of the pressures
of life or even believers in the world facing persecution today.
Lord, all of us can say that nothing in all of creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
And so, Lord, as we look to you today, Lord, I pray that you give us an even greater sense of the salvation
and eternal security that we have in Him.
So, we commit our service to you, praying that you'd be honored in all of it.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Well, good morning.
One of those verses we just read says,
we know in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
We are conquerors because He, Jesus conquered.
He won the battle.
Sin, death, Satan have all been defeated.
So, this morning, let's just rejoice in that and let's worship our King who reigns today.
So, that's what this first song is about.
So, join with us in song.
This piece that outlasts darkness, the hope that's in the love, the future grace that's mine today,
then Jesus Christ as long as I can face tomorrow, for tomorrow's in your hands.
And all I need you will provide, just like you always have.
I'm fighting a battle.
You've already won.
No matter who comes my way, I will overcome.
You'll know why you're doing.
But I know why you've gone.
I'm fighting a battle.
You've already won.
There's mercy in the way, then a fortune made, and when it's gone, I know you're not.
What am I going to say when the sea is raging?
Your spirit is my help.
He'll fix my eyes on Jesus Christ.
I'll say that it is well.
Oh, I know that it is well.
I'm fighting a battle.
You've already won.
No matter who comes my way, I will overcome.
Don't know why you're doing.
But I know why you've gone.
I'm fighting a battle.
You've already won.
And I know how the story ends.
And we will be with you again.
And you're my savior, my defense.
No more fear in my burden.
Sing that again.
I know how the story ends.
You know we will be with you again.
And yes, we will.
You're my savior, my defense.
No more fear in my burden.
Last time.
I know how the story ends.
We will be with you again.
You're my savior, my defense.
No more fear in life or death.
I know how the story ends.
I'm fighting a battle.
You've already won.
No matter who comes my way, I will overcome.
