Heaven at War*

Heaven is at war
And He has carved out His territory
Camp has been made
In the Enemy's stronghold

The wolves prowl the streets
There's a fiend in every house
And poison in every pot
There's sadness on the sidewalk
And misery in the alleys
There's bloodshed every hour
And ODs thrice a day
And darkness all the time

There's hellhounds let loose
And the demons are forming into legions
Armed with all the terrors of Hell
Because the Usurper has heard
That the King is coming

But there are angels at the door
And the saints have assembled
With a song of unearthly power
The seraphim are at the ready
With faces and feet uncovered
And the encampment's banners are red with the blood of the Holy One
Inside there is a court
Full of the foliage of Eden
And tenderly walled up
In beautiful, red bricks
And overflowing
With laughs
And shouts
And joyful noise

Heaven is at war
And all for the little children
