Often the battle goes too long
Courage all runs dry
Victories you should have won
Are memories too hard to fight
Dancing like shadows in the night
Faded dreams once thought right
Are pushing out the light

When it seems the day is lost
Faith is almost gone
Set your eyes and His battered cross
Where the war is already won
Like a flood His Word will come
Set the darkness on the run
Every soldier of the cross will cry...

Only the overcomers will be with...
Only the overcomers will live with...
Only the overcomers will reign on high
Only the overcomers will be with...
Only the overcomers will live with...
Only the overcomers will reign on high

Sometimes the reason that we stand
And fight is almost lost
'Cause battle-weary soldiers
Can forget to count the cost
When friends are lost along the way
It's hard to walk from day to day
As a soldier of the cross
Many have suffered and many have given
Their lives because of Him
So how much more should we stand
And count for the life of every man
Brother, sister, search your heart
Can you say that every part
Is given as a soldier to the King?

Only the overcomers will be with...
Only the overcomers will live with...
Only the overcomers will reign on high
Only the overcomers will be with...
Only the overcomers will live with...
Only the overcomers will reign on high

Only the overcomers will be with...
Only the overcomers will live with...
Only the overcomers will reign on high
Only the overcomers will be with...
Only the overcomers will live with...
Only the overcomers will reign on high

Only the overcomers
