('Fight the good fight')
2 Chronicles 20 v.10-17 parts [Old Testament]
*********
In time of Jehoshaphat's day
He King, and people they did pray
For help against the enemy
Ammonites, Moabites they be
O God, they said, will you not judge
Them? They make our lives daily drudge
Help us, for we have no might here
To o'ercome them when they appear
It be a great company that
Comes against us, we know not what
To do, but our eyes are on you
Men, women, and all children too
Jahaziel, prophet replied
The Lord shall help, in Him confide
For He shall fight battle for you
You shall know His salvation true

This story goes on to say that they went out to battle singing and praising the Lord.
There's a legend that I was among them, and my singing scared off the enemy! heehee. Probably true.
You did scare off the enemy but you couldn't scare off KP.

Thanks Gold.
Sounds like a scene from Jurassic park!
Thanks SC.
We could all do with some heavenly help sometimes.
Thanks DV.
Was it meant the be The King instead of He King S1L2?
Wedding hymn and battle cry! Resounding. Would love to worship in a service that uses these hymns. /Rik.
Thanks Rik. Could be typo, or could be 'He' by way of explanation. You familiar with that King J. guy?!
I know a service that DON'T use these sort of hymns, but endless 'Choruses' - drive ya mad sometimes. I wouldn't mind, except it's same ones about 3 weeks in a row. Doh!
I've parted company with them now.
That's what I thought at first, ole King J. Hardly opened these days. And a once over is enough for me, thanks. Not the best when we wear things down. Too much of a good thing, or summat. Cheers. Rik.
