| 1 | Fight the battle in the Body, |
| | | Never fight it on your own; |
| | With the Body to the Head joined, |
| | | Fight the battle on the throne. |
| Chorus |
| | | Fight the battle in the Body! |
| | | | By the virtue of the Head; |
| | | Standing firmly with the Body, |
| | | | Into vict’ry you’ll be led. |
| 2 | For the Body is God’s armor, |
| | | Not for anyone alone; |
| | When you wrestle in the Body, |
| | | All its benefits you own. |
| 3 | ’Tis the Church on Christ established |
| | | Satan shall not overpow’r; |
| | ’Tis the Body built together |
| | | Which resists the evil pow’r. |
| 4 | In the Body, by the Headship, |
| | | Sitting in the heavenlies, |
| | Struggle with the wicked spirits |
| | | And the principalities. |
| 5 | As a member of the Body, |
| | | With the brethren stand for God; |
| | Praying always in the Spirit, |
| | | Claim the vict’ry through the Blood. |
| 6 | In the heav’nlies more than conqu’ror, |
| | | In the power of His might, |
| | As a soldier in the army, |
| | | In the Lord the battle fight. |
| 7 | Keep on wrestling in the Body, |
| | | Mighty vict’ry you will see, |
| | Bind and loose, God’s will fulfilling, |
| | | And the foes your food will be. |
