Verse 1
 
That ole
Em 
devil brings a hell of a
Em 
fight
 
He’s had it
A7 
out for me for my whole
C 
life
 
He keeps
Em 
scheming with the same old
Em 
tricks
 
But the
A7 
hand that’s holding me
 
Is more
C 
powerful than his
C 
 
Chorus

Keep on
G 
fighting with my eyes on You,
D 
Lord
G/B 
And
C 
I’ll keep o
D 
n
Em 
standing
 
I’m still
G 
standing on Your promises,
D

I got
Em 
numbers, more than e
Em 
nough
 
Angel
A7 
armies backing me
C 
up
 
I got my de

fenses from the Lord Most

The
D 
battles keep on coming but the
A7 
war is won

And

I’ll keep o
D
