It’s the Lifestyle

C. D.

By Christina OsterhousePublished 4 years ago 2 min read

Doors unlocked

It’s an open house

Come traipse through my rooms

And sit on my couch

Remodel oh lord

Tear the kitchen out

New floors new doors new lights sounds right

Cuz I’ve been in the trenches

Dodging bullets with intercession

I’ve been digging oh Lord with my arms up in prayer

And Tonight I’m reclaiming

The stronghold that was taken

Setting torches wreathed in fire

Through all the pathways forged by liars

My founding in you is true

It can’t be blown by any mortar

So tonight this is my victory cry

Remind me I can lose this fight

For you own the battlefield

Lord command me through the night

And so I close my eyes and step

Blind folded

Reaching out my hand

And You hold it

I’m putting all my faith in you Lord

As sure as an acrobats net

I free fall with full intent

I raise my hands in worship

Defiantly denying the power of the dark

I shout ‘Glory to the Lord!’

As I stare the devil down

Saying “Do you see my smile world?”

It’s a smile born of life

Born of purpose and desire

See I lift my eyes towards heaven

For there’s nothing else’s I’d rather see

It’s indicatory of my heart,

Dedicated to derailing the plans of the enemy

I forge my sword with the power of the word

I am a soldier in the ranks of the Lord

Speaking freedom where I go

Declaring destruction of strongholds by Jesus name

Watching the enemy flee and cower each day.

For you are all powerful

And I join with the angels as we cry “Great are you Lord!”

No darkness can withstand, no evil can withhold

The thunderous sound of your people crying worship

Waging war with our prayers

With our lives

With our praise

This is what it means to live a life of prayer

To live in freedom and love

To know the Christ identity

And the whole world cannot quench your spirit in me

I’ve lived and I’ll die dedicated to my king

For I have seen what it means to be truly known

And I know the one who all can call home.
