Lift High the Banners of Love
[Intro]
Raise now your voices, give glory and praise Him
(Raise now your voices, give glory and praise Him)
For He has poured out His blood as a ransom
(For He has poured out His blood as a ransom)
Hell's power is broken and heaven stands open
(Hell's power is broken and heaven stands open)
Lift high the cross
Lift high the cross
Lift high the cross
In majesty, in victory
[Chorus]
Let's lift high the banners of love
Lift high the banners of love, hallelujah (Sound the trumpets of war)
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah
Jericho must fall (Lift high the banners)
Lift high the banners of love, hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah
Jericho must fall
[Verse 1]
The body of Christ is an army
Fighting powers of sin
Bringing the captives to freedom
In the name of Jesus, our King
[Chorus]
Lift high the banners
So lift high the banners of love, hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah
Jericho must fall
So lift high the banners of love, hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war (Sound of victory)
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah
Jericho must fall
[Verse 2]
Preach the Savior crucified
Dead, but risen again
Come against the powers of darkness (In His glorious name)
In His glorious name
[Chorus]
Lift high the banners of love, hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah
Jericho must fall
So lift high the banners of love, hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah
Jericho must fall
Jericho must fall
[Interlude]
Let's by faith surround the Jerichos of our lives
The strongholds of evil that oppress us
And proclaim the victory of the cross with a great shout of triumph
The Lord reigns
Over the stronghold of fear
The Lord reigns
Over the power of sin and death
The Lord reigns
Over the strongholds of disease
The Lord reigns
Over tyranny and injustice
The Lord reigns
Over hatred and division
The Lord reigns
Over all the powers of evil
The Lord reigns
In every city, in every nation
The Lord reigns
In all heaven and earth
The Lord reigns
Forever and ever His name shall be above every other name
For Jesus Christ is Lord, He is Lord (He is Lord, He's Lord)
[Chorus]
So lift high the banners of love, hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah
Jericho must fall
So lift high the banners of love, hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the victory, hallelujah (By the cross He overcame)
Jericho must fall
Jericho must fall (May the glorious light of the gospel shine throughout all the earth)
