This world is one great battlefield
With forces all arrayed,
If in my heart I do not yield
I�ll overcome some day.
I�ll overcome some day,
I�ll overcome some day,
If in my heart I do not yield,
I�ll overcome some day.

Both seen and unseen powers join
To drive my soul astray,
But with His Word a sword of mine,
I�ll overcome some day.
I�ll overcome some day,
I�ll overcome some day,
But with His Word a sword of mine,
I�ll overcome some day.

A thousand snares are set for me,
And mountains in my way,
If Jesus will my leader be,
I�ll overcome some day.
I�ll overcome some day,
I�ll overcome some day,
If Jesus will my leader be,
I�ll overcome some day.

I fail so often when I try
My Savior to obey;
It pains my heart and then I cry,
Lord, make me strong some day.
Lord, make me strong some day,
Lord, make me strong some day;
It pains my heart and then I cry,
Lord, make me strong some day.

My mind is not to do the wrong,
But walk the narrow way;
I�m praying as I journey on,
To overcome some day.
To overcome some day,
To overcome some day;
I�m praying as I journey on,
To overcome some day.

Though many a time no signs appear,
Of answer when I pray;
My Jesus says I need not fear,
He�ll make it plain some day.
I�ll be like Him some day,
I�ll be like Him some day;
My Jesus says I need not fear,
He�ll make it plain some day.
