Not By Power

Not by power
Not by might
But by My Spirit
Says the Lord
 (Repeat)

The weapons of our warfare
Are not of this world
They are mighty through God
Mighty through God

The power of His mercy
And the power of His love
They are stronger than all
Stronger than all

As we worship in unity
Jesus the Lord
Victory comes in His name
By His word

(Repeat chorus 2 times & verses)
(Repeat chorus 6 times)

By My Spirit says the Lord
By My Spirit says the Lord
By My Spirit says the Lord
