Verse:
No matter what the weapon is,
I want you to know,
That if I won't doubt He'll bring me out
And if I obey He'll make a way
And if I believe I will receive,
Everything He's promised me!
.
Chorus:
I win (I win)
I win (I win)
I win (I win)
I win (I win)

Now, I like this song, very upbeat, cool idea, that with God, no matter what the weapon is, there is victory...but one thing that bothers me about this song is that fact that the words "God", "Jesus", "Lord", etc are not there. Now, don't get me wrong, I like the song, it's fun it's really cool to just cry out loud that I win, no matter what's against me, but, is it really us that are winning or is not even our battle? I've always been taught that you give your battles to God, lay down your worries at His feet, He's got it all under control. So I suppose that besides the lack of any proper nouns in this song, there's a mentality that God's not even in this, except if we are obeying, not doubting, and believing, then He will give us His promises, which okay, true, but where's the "God Wins"?

Wouldn't it be cool to sing "God wins, so I win"? Because it is not our battles anymore, we're just on the side that has won the battle. We have the victory THROUGH God, but I don't think we're even fighting. I remember watching a sermon on the story in the Bible that there was a group of people afraid to go outside because of the fear of a lion out there door. The phantom of the lion is what kept them inside, not the lion. There is no lion in the street! Our battles are not our battles, we fight to stand and praise the One who is the Victor, the Great and Almighty, but if we lay down our battles before the Lord, we always win, BECAUSE God has already won, He's just that awesome.
