There’s One who has overcome
Seated on David’s throne
Making our enemies a footstool beneath our feet

We have this great hope
In the midst of the war

Into the struggle, Your name is Victory
Praises get louder, Nothing can stop You
You hold the power, Jesus You’re the King

Rivers come rushing With every word You speak

Meaning & Inspiration
Into the Battle is a declaration of victory in spiritual struggle. The opening lines speak of the One who has overcome, seated on David's throne with enemies made a footstool beneath His feet. The pre-chorus names a great hope in the midst of the war, and the chorus gives the names that answer difficulty: Breakthrough and Victory, with praises getting louder because nothing can stop Him.
The second verse describes a victorious warrior whose eyes are like fire and whose every word sends rivers rushing. The bridge turns personal, saying it is in His peace that the singer fights, in His strength that the singer rises, and that He casts down every lie, since His name is truth and life. The imagery follows Psalm 110:1, Revelation 19:12 and Romans 8:37. The marching rhythm and repeated names of Jesus give the song a bold, determined tone that suits a congregation singing through hard times.
