Thought I had to be stronger
And keep my fists clinched so tight
Hide all these cracks in my armor
A soldier is not meant to cry

But would you lead us and give us your heart
A king who for sinners would die
You stripped off your glory to lay down your life
And showed us a new way to fight

We don't have to win
We don't have to lie
We don't have to always get it right
Even when we fall
The battle's not our own
We will find the strength when we let go
To be your warriors

I'm laying down my defenses
I'm recognizing my pride
I'm giving up all my excuses
'Cause from you there's nothing to hide

Oh would you lead us and give us your heart
A king who for sinners would die
You stripped off your glory to lay down your life
And showed us a new way to fight

We don't have to win
We don't have to lie
We don't have to always get it right
Even when we fall
The battle's not our own
We will find the strength when we let go
To be your warriors

It's a new way to fight
A new way to fight
A new way to fight
A new way to fight
A new way to fight
A new way to fight
A new way to fight
A new way to fight
A new way to fight

We don't have to win
We don't have to lie
We don't have to always get it right
Even when we fall
The battle's not our own
We will find the strength when we let go
To be your warriors
