Masschoir Songs for GC 2012

I. WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

What a friend we have in Jesus, 

        all our sins and griefs to bear! 

        What a privilege to carry 

        everything to God in prayer!  

        O what peace we often forfeit,

        O what needless pain we bear, 

        all because we do not carry 

        everything to God in prayer.

XI.  WE DECLARE WAR

1. Every believer all over the world wake up and realize, satan is busy
destroying the world right before our very eyes, our children are killing
our children guns and knives terrorize our schools, we can't just stand
here we can't accept this, there's only one thing left for the believers
to do

CH. We declare war against the enemy he is defeated satan's under our feet
we cannot lose with the Lord on our side satan this is it we're tired of
taking it satan we declare war

2. The enemy is cunning and his strategy is sure on this you can depend
the devil hates it when we glorify God he wants us to glorify him
that's why our music is losing its power, worldly influence is making it sour
there's no gospel there's no annointing we cannot let this happen in this
critical hour

Repeat Chorus 1x

Brdge: Stand fight rise up
Bridge 2: blow the trumpet in Zion Zion (2x)
he is defeated the devil is defeated (2x)
blow the trumpet in Zion Zion (2x)
Brdge 3: Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp on the devil (4x)

he is defeated the devil is defeated (2x)
I've got the victory I've got the victory (4x)
End: satan this is it we're tired of takin it satan we declare war
