“I’m fighting a battle You’ve already won.” Is that your first thought when you’re going through a trial? If I’m honest, it’s not usually mine. Nonetheless, it’s the truth. As this song reminds us, no matter what comes our way, we can overcome through Jesus.
In John 16:33, Jesus said: "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart because I have overcome the world."
We can overcome, not because of our own strength, but because we belong to the one who has overcome. According to Revelation 21:4, one day, when Jesus comes back to this earth, He will wipe every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain. All those things will be gone forever. But in the meantime, when we face trials and sorrows in this life, Jesus brings purpose from them. He gives us strength to endure, comforts us, uses the challenges we face to refine and mature our faith, and uses our testimonies to encourage others facing similar trials to the ones we have encountered.
As you listen to “You’ve Already Won" by Shane & Shane, let it be an anthem of faith, hope, and victory for you.
Romans 8:31 (NLT): No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.”
Lyrics
There’s peace that outlasts darkness
Hope that’s in the blood
There’s future grace that’s mine today
That Jesus Christ has won
So I can face tomorrow
For tomorrow’s in Your hands
All I need you will provide
Just like you always have
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
No matter what comes my way
I will overcome
I don’t know what you're doing
But I know what you’ve done
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
There’s mercy in the waiting
Mana for today
And when it’s gone, I know you’re not
You are my hope, and stay
When the sea is raging
Your Spirit is my help
He’ll fix my eyes on Jesus Christ
And I’ll say that is well
Oh, I know that it is well
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
No matter what comes my way
I will overcome
I don’t know what you're doing
But I know what you’ve done (thank you, God)
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
I know how the story ends
We will be with you again
You’re my Savior, my defense
No more fear in life or death
I know how this story ends
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
No matter what comes my way
I will overcome
I don’t know what you're doing
But I know what You’ve done (thank you, God)
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
