The Devil is on the Run Lyrics

[Intro]
The battle may be ragin', but the war's already won
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run

[Verse 1]
It may look like the Kingdom of Heaven is on its heels
But I've found that sometimes how it is is not how it feels
And now the enemy's lies may seem louder than ever before
But child, don't mistake a whimper for a roar
The devil is on the run, hey

[Chorus]
The battle may be ragin', but the war's already won
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run
Jesus is the Light, the dark will never overcome
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
The devil is on the run

[Verse 2]
The church isn't fallin' apart, we're comin' together
And if the world wonders when we'll give up, the answer is never
One God, one church, one voice liftin' only one Name
Jesus who makes the gates of hell tremble and shake
The devil is on the run
[Chorus]
The battle may be ragin', but the war's already won
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run
Jesus is the Light, the dark will never overcome
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
The devil is on the run, yeah

[Bridge]
The devil's on the run, but he cannot hide
Jesus is the Light, and the Light will shine
The devil's on the run, but he cannot hide
Jesus is the Light, and the Light will shine
The devil's on the run, but he cannot hide
Jesus is the Light, and the Light will shine

[Chorus]
The battle may be ragin', but the war's already won
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run (He's on the run)
Jesus is the Light, the dark will never overcome
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run, yeah (The devil is on the run)
The battle may be ragin', but the war's already won (Already won)
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run (He's on the run, he's on the run)
Jesus is the Light, the dark will never overcome
The King is on the move and the devil is on the run, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
The devil is on the run, yeah
