It's a struggle for survival
We daily meet the foe
Out there on the battlefield
Sometimes we stand alone
That's when I reach for my holy armor
I pick up my shield of faith
And I march onto the battlefield
I take out my sword and say
The mountain is high but it's not too steep
And the battle is rough but I'm not too weak
And I won't turn back, oh, no, I won't turn back
Well, the road is hot but it's not too long
And the enemy's near but he's not too strong
And I won't turn back, oh, no, I won't turn back
In the face of strong resistance
We press on through the night
While out there on the battlefield
We walk by faith not sight
We march through persecution
Determined come what may
We have to fight a good fight
We have to keep the faith
Well, the mountain is high but it's not too steep
And the battle is rough but I'm not too weak
And I won't turn back, oh, no, I won't turn back
And though the enemy brings war against my soul
And though a host of evil battles for control
I will not fear for the Lord he is near
And his angels are encamped all around me
The mountain is high but it's not too steep
And the battle is rough but I'm not too weak
And I won't turn back, oh, no, I won't turn back
Well, the road is hot but it's not too long
And the enemy's near but he's not too strong
And I won't back, oh, no, I won't turn back
And I won't turn back (won't turn back)
And I won't turn back (won't turn back)
And I won't turn back
