No One Else Will

 No One Else Will

I stand here before you because no one else will.

No one wants to fight this battle that is until,

Until there is a victory won on their behalf.

Then more people will stand and walk in this path.

But until then I am in the fight alone,

Except for the heavenly angels on God's throne.

They are standing beside me though no one can see.

And with them I will gain the victory.

Throughout the ages in times past

Stood many against the tyranny at last.

Our forefathers who settled here in our land

Alone against England they took their stand

They did what they did because no one else would

They fought against tyranny as only they could

Clear back in the Ancient of Days,

With Gideon, a small army was raised.

What started with thousands was narrowed down

Until only 300 soldiers could be found

But who gave them victory in the end?

It was God in heaven; no one dares fight against Him.

I stand up for the broken because no one else will. 

But then God reminds me no, there are others still.

When Elijah hid in the cave thinking he was the only one.

God told him no there are others like you my son.

I stand here today alone fighting 

Will you stand alongside me or are you still deciding. 

I invite you to come join the battle with me

As we stand for the truth and set others free.
