Lyrics
The enemy hit me with a hard blow
pulled the rug right out from under my feet, you know
he came after everything that was dear to me
attacked my home, family and ministry
My worship is my warfare, my worship is my warfare
it is a mighty weapon against the enemy I do declare
my worship is my warfare, my worship is my warfare
Oh, how he laughed and danced all over the place
when he saw the tears running down my face
I knew I would have to win this battle on my knees
the tears of a warrior would soon bring him to defeat
My worship is my warfare, my worship is my warfare
it is a mighty weapon against the enemy I do declare
my worship is my warfare, my worship is my warfare
Listen carefully to me
I will teach you the sound of worship warfare
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to God Almighty
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to God Almighty
hallelujah, lord you worthy
All power belongs to you my Nighty King
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to God Almighty
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to God Almighty
hallelujah, lord you worthy, I give you praise and
honor. All power belongs to you my mighty king
The sound of my worship brought terror to his face
now I was the one laughing an dancing all over the
place
I learned a long time ago there is power in my praise
when I worship God he sends his angels quickly to my aid
My worship is my warfare, my worship is my warfare
it is a mighty weapon against the enemy I do declare
my worship is my warfare, my worship is my warfare

Meaning & Inspiration
“My Worship Is a Warfare” portrays praise as a faithful response to personal attack, grief, and spiritual opposition. The opening verses describe losses touching home, family, and ministry, then turn toward prayer rather than surrender. Kneeling, tears, hallelujahs, and repeated declarations of God’s power become the language of resistance. The central refrain treats worship as a weapon, emphasizing dependence on God when fear and pain threaten to dominate.
The theme has a clear biblical parallel in 2 Chronicles 20:21-22, where appointed singers praise the Lord as God acts against Judah’s enemies. Acts 16:25-26 also describes Paul and Silas praying and singing hymns in prison before their chains are loosed. Those passages do not make worship a formula for avoiding suffering, but they support the song’s picture of praise offered in the middle of conflict. Its movement from tears to confident celebration presents victory as belonging to God, while the repeated hallelujah keeps attention on divine power rather than the strength of the worshiper.
