MP3: I Have My Sword

I Have My Sword - Song History

Words & Music Dennis Jernigan

July 1, 2016

I woke up this morning with the awareness that I needed a new song for our free monthly song-give-away. As I began to ponder which new song I needed to release, I felt an urging of the Holy Spirit that He would give me a new song...that very day! I had no idea what the song might entail...until a friend asked me to review a movie trailer she had created depicting the need for training in spiritual warfare. Coupled with the fact thatin three days we would be celebrating our nation'€™s independence from tyranny, I was overwhelmed with the need for the body of Christ to wake up to the reality of spiritual warfare. In the film trailer, much of the action depicted entailed sword fighting as a visual representation of a spiritual truth. God'€™s Word is my Sword. As I meditated on that Truth, this song was born. It is a hymn of declaration and faith.

Verse

When fear surrounds

I will not be afraid

I'll put on the armor

And bear Your name

Once lost, now found

Now free from sin and shame

I bear the cross

With passion's holy flame

Chorus

I have my Sword!

Your Living Word!

The sound of freedom! 

Sweetest ever heard!

By faith I'll stand 

And lean into the fight! 

And darkness bows 

Before the Light

Knowing the blood has satisfied!

Verse

Where sin abounds

There is much more grace

Perfect love has conquered

Taken my place

Though battle rages

I'll keep running this race

Until I run

Into my King's embrace

Chorus

I have my Sword!

Your Living Word!

The sound of freedom!

Sweetest ever heard!

By faith I'll stand

And lean into the fight!

And darkness bows 

Before the Light

Knowing the blood has satisfied!

Chorus

I have my Sword!

Your Living Word!

The sound of freedom!

Sweetest ever heard!

By faith I'll stand

And lean into the fight!

And darkness bows

Before the Light 

Knowing the blood has satisfied!
