The battle is not Flesh and blood By Alter of Praise

Описание: M (spoken, calm): We’re in a real fight…
F (soft): Mm…
M (spoken): But it’s not the kind you see.
F (soft): No…
M (spoken): God gave us weapons… and they work.
BOTH (sung, gentle): Amen.

[VERSE 1 – M lead]

M: I wake up to pressure, I breathe in the noise,
M: Bad news on my screen tryna steal my joy.
M: But even if I’m human, even if I feel weak,
M: I won’t fight like the world when it comes for me.

M: ‘Cause the battle ain’t people, it’s deeper than that,
M: It’s the lies in my mind tryna pull me back.
M: So I lift up my hands, I don’t swing with my pride—
M: I’m fighting with heaven on my side.

[PRE-CHORUS – harmonized build]

BOTH (tight harmony): We walk in the flesh, but we don’t fight that way,
BOTH: God’s power in my spirit, and I’m not afraid.
F (lead, rising): Every thought that rises, every fear that calls—
M (lead answer): I take it to Jesus and I watch it fall.

[CHORUS / HOOK – BOTH big]

BOTH (unison, strong): Not carnal— my weapons got power!
BOTH: Strongholds— they’re coming down now!
BOTH: Every lie, every chain, every wall— collapse!
BOTH: In the Name of Jesus, we push back!

BOTH (split harmony): Not carnal— I’m fighting in prayer!
BOTH: Heaven’s force is in the air!
M (lead): Every thought, every plan that exalts itself—
F (lead): I bring it captive to Christ!
BOTH (hit): To Christ!

[VERSE 2 – F lead]

F: I’m tired of arguing, tired of the heat,
F: Tired of reacting to everything I see.
F: I’m done with revenge, I’m done with the shade,
F: I choose obedience— let my faith lead the way.

F: We tear down reasonings, we tear down the high,
F: Anything that blocks truth, anything built on pride.
F: If it lifts up itself against what God said—
F: We pull it down and we lift Christ instead!
M (support ad-lib, soft): Yes, Lord…
