Words and music by Bob Hartman Based on Proverbs 3: 6, 1 Peter 5: 8, Matthew 16: 24 Smell the burning powder? There's danger in the air A voice from deep inside is telling you, 'you must beware' Then enemy is watching Every step you take To find his opportunity in every choice you make And it's no game When someone lives without His grace And who's to blame When it blows up in their face It's a mine field - you'd better follow Him through God knows the way - you'd better stick like glue It's a mine field - better stay on His heels 'Cause the enemy kills and the enemy steals So keep your head down and keep you eyes peeled 'Cause life is... Life is a mine field Think the grass is greener? You'd better look around Everywhere you look another casualty is found The enemy is waiting For you to start to run Waiting like an itchy finger on a loaded gun Some may feel They can wander out too far They may heal But they may always wear the scar Better leave the navigation to the One who knows the Way He will bring illumination He will light your path each day It's a mine field - better watch where you tread Step off the path and you could end up dead It's a mine field - better stay on His heels 'Cause the enemy kills and the enemy steals So keep your head down and keep your eyes peeled 'Cause life is... Life is a mine field
