Hawkins, Walter - There's A War Going On Lyrics






There's a war going on
And if you're gonna win
So you better make sure that you have Jesus deep down within
This battle cannot be won with bullets and guns
For the enemy you cannot see with human faculties

For we wrestle (not against flesh and blood)
But against (principalities)
Against the rulers of darkness (against the rulers of darkness)
Against spiritual wickedness (against spiritual wickedness)
In high places
It's a fact (it's a fact)
That Satan's on your track (Satan's on your track)
And suddenly, without any warning, he'll launch his attack

So you better make sure that you know
That wherever you may go
That you have the sword, which is the word of God
Deep down in your soul

Oh, this is what you have to know
You can't fight this battle on your own
You need the power of God rooted and grounded in your life
This is what the bible says...

We need the armor
We need the armor of the Lord

So we can walk right (walk right)
Talk right (talk right)
Live right (live right)
Pray right (pray right)

    One of my favourite albums

  9. S.... M....

    This song was playing in my car on my way to work this morning. I was shouting from my car to my job..

    S.... M....

    Amen, don’t get in a car accident. Pull over, and shout. Be on time for work

  12. D.... K....

    The Savings on Your Track!!!!

    D.... K....

    It says... and Satan is on your track

  13. D.... K....

    Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch)

  14. J.... K....

    This song is straight from Scripture!

    J.... K....

    I just loved those days when Walter, Edwin Andrae & MMC Mattie Moss Clark did the same - putting 🎶to scripture. Crucified w/ Christ, Upon This Rock, That Shall He Also Reap...WOW, now those were the days.

  15. C.... W....

    At 5:08!! WELL ALRIGHT NOW!!!!!!

  16. M.... H....

    You talking about the old times at White Plains High School when we sung this song.

  17. g.... g....

    There's a war going on was one of my favorites! The Hawkins could really bring the house down! Blessed days!

  18. K.... B....

    I actually taught this to my choir in Massachusetts and they cranked it, but NOBODY sings this like Lynette! I would have lived to see Love Center sing this live!

    K.... B....

    I cannot hear the alto part in the beginning of the song and i have to teach this tomorrow can you help?

  19. J.... F....

    the praise starts at 5:08

  20. L.... K....

    The Holy Spirit quickens my entire being. Uncontrollable joy. I so love and respect the Trinity. Praise your Holy name Jesus. Thank you Auntie Inez. You taught us this song when it first came out at my Dad's church. We found the truth and learned to fight. That was over 30 years ago and you saaang this song!! The war will continue till he comes!! Fight people..put on that WHOLE ARMOR.. GOD BLESS☝☝

  21. L.... ....

    Am i right in this?

  22. A.... ....

    Words cannot express how much I love God for Lynette Hawkins-Stephens. Her testimonies are tremendously powerful. She sings with the anointing. Man oh man, my spirit rejoices. This is a powerful message. A real blessing. I hope that she continues to make Gospel music. May God bless her and the entire Hawkins family.

  23. B.... M....

    My dad saw this and he was on fire!!!!🙏

  24. T.... C....

    I grew up listening to this. My dad bought a bootleg gospel mixtape when I was a kid. Ive been listening ever since.

  25. R.... J....

    The beauty of the original rendition, is the clarity in Lynette Hawkins story telling. No matter how strong strong anointing, she uses that anointing to effectively get through the entire song. I've sang this song numerous times and with various choirs, the soloists never sing it like this with as much clarity, and their story telling is always all over the place. Lynette gives biblical direct referencing.

  26. L.... d....

    Put On The Whole Armor Of God To With Stand The Forces Of EvIl!

  27. S.... P....

    Powerful song

  28. J.... P....

    W. V. L. True Gospel Mass Choir

  29. J.... F....

    amen, this song has really blessed me, satan has been trying to use all his weapons but I am dressed in the whole armor of God. yes lord

  30. V.... L....

    wow bring back memories! tears😥

  31. J.... B....

    "POWER..Beyond just a song!The anointing on Lynette's vocals are still palpable through this recording.Thank You Lord Jesus for the Victory!!"🙏🏼❣🎤🎶🙌🏼

  32. l.... t....

    0:01 LOVE THE WAY YVETTE FLOUNDER STUTTERS IN THE OPENING  AND WE RASTLE NOT HA

  33. o.... ....

    I like this track, praise the lord

  34. A.... L....

    So many memories of my mother leading this song at Christ Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith in Joliet, IL. And she can still do it today!!!

  35. R.... B....

    new victory is already won I love my position in God

  36. J.... P....

    Still Applicable!!!

  37. M.... P....

    Wow this song ... my God back in the day my Late Aunt Verna Pryor sang this song

  38. M.... P....

    Bless my Aunt who has gone home with the Lord... our choir under Pastor and Mother Pearson... We sang this song with power and my Aunt Verna.. Lawd Jesus

    M.... P....

    Your next-to-last-word is disrespectful.
    He is LORD!
    That word should make us tremble, not mock.

    M.... P....

    The FEAR of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, as the Bible says several times.

  39. M.... P....

    Bless my Aunt who has gone home with the Lord... our choir under Pastor and Mother Pearson... We sang this song with power and my Aunt Verna.. Lawd Jesus she brought the house down

  40. M.... P....

    Bless my Aunt who has gone home with the Lord... our choir under Pastor and Mother Pearson... We sang this song with power and my Aunt Verna.. Lawd Jesus she brought the house down

  43. T.... D....

    Things keep happening to us as a family, not good things, but when..there's a war going on, we are putting on the whole armor of the Lord Jesus Christ!

    T.... D....

    Tessa Donato Amen, there’s always a war going on . Boxing match God vs. the Devil Jesus won the fight

    T.... D....

  44. j.... ....

    West Angeles sung this song last month!

  45. G.... Z....

    My God!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is definitely a WORD song!!!!!

  46. K.... C....

    This is probably a long shot but I heard this song in a Christian song playlist but it was a live performance and I really want to find it so I can play it on the screen on my church but I've been looking for hours and can't find it. Does anyone know of a live one or even just a video?

    2 Timothy 2:3-5 (NKJV)

    3 You therefore must endure[a] hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

  54. p.... r....

    I heard this on the radio this morning I didn't know the song but when I saw Walter Hawkins I knew it was going to be stellar...great timeless music

  61. C.... H....

    Saints don't fight one another:

    There's A War Going On
    and If You're Gonna Win
    so You Better Make Sure That You Have Jesus Deep Down Within
    this Battle Cannot Be Won With Bullets And Guns
    for The Enemy You Cannot See With Human Faculties

    for We Wrestle (Not Against Flesh And Blood)
    but Against (Principalities)
    against The Rulers Of Darkness (Against The Rulers Of Darkness)
    against Spiritual Wickedness (Against Spiritual Wickedness)
    in High Places

  62. k.... q....

    This song is taken right out of the scriptures in the new testement of the Bible - That's what I like about gospel singers like the Hawkin Family, Richard Smallwoods, Fred Hammond and such they are true gospel singers spreading the good news of the Lord.
