Lyrics
I got joy in my soul
God is in control
I got Satan on my trail
But I'm singing all is well
He's attacking everyday
But I'm watching while I pray
No matter the attack
I won't turn back
‘Cause This Means War
This means war
I Plead, I Plead The Blood
This means war
I've been in the storm and the rain
But the blood still stays the same
Whatever's going wrong
My war clothes are on
I might be in a daze
But you can't have my praise
Whatever the attack
I won't turn back
‘Cause This Means War
This means war
I Plead I Plead The Blood
This means war
Bridge
You can't have my family
You can't have my increase
You can't have my breakthrough
You can't have my, you can't have my
You can't, you can't, you can't, I Plead
I Plead, I Plead the Blood
‘Cause this means war…

Meaning & Inspiration
War uses the language of spiritual conflict to express confidence under pressure. The singer acknowledges attacks, storms, rain, and moments of confusion, yet repeatedly refuses to turn back. Joy, prayer, and praise become signs of endurance because God remains in control. The chorus frames the conflict through an appeal to the blood, placing hope in divine protection rather than personal strength.
Several lines echo the New Testament picture of alert resistance. Ephesians 6:11-18 describes spiritual armor and closes with watchful prayer, which closely matches the references to war clothes and watching while praying. Revelation 12:11 connects victory over the accuser with the blood of the Lamb, giving clear biblical context to the repeated plea. The bridge applies that confidence to family, provision, and breakthrough, while the verses keep worship central even when circumstances remain difficult. The song presents praise as steadfast allegiance during conflict: trouble is real, but it does not receive the final word.
