LYRICS HE'S A BATTLE-AXE FLORIDA MASS CHOIR LEAD BY DEACON SAFFORD Chorus He's a battle-axe (in the time of the battle) He's a battle-axe (in the time of the battle) Children, He's a battle-axe (in the time of the battle) Oh yeah, shelter in the time of the storm Verse 1 Well you can't do like Jesus did Not a mumbling word He said He walked right down to Lazarus grave And raised him from the dead Verse 2 Well, I'm going down to that river Gonna stand there like a man Unbuckle my sword right off of my side and Stick it in the golden sand Verse 3 Well I load my gun with the Holy Ghost And I pull my trigger with prayer King Jesus is my captain And I shoot for sin and win Verse 4 I heard the voice of Jesus say "Come unto me and rest.” "Lay down thy weary one lay down Thy head upon my breast." Verse 5 Father I stretch my hand to thee No other help I know If thou withdraw Thyself from me Oh, whither shall I go?
Thank you for allowing me a glimpse of the people's cries to God. This music transports to a place that can only be described as intense struggle. Praise God for the battle and journey taken and prayers for the future struggle.
@@johnh8705 I beg to differ...the good book says that we had to endure it in Deut 28...our struggles should have increased our faith because the struggle has a time limit
I grew up on these songs. I remember when grandmama would lead songs like these in church while i sat with her. I had to be no more than 4, sitting with grandma on the mother board.
This is the old time gospel that you hear at revival. The kind that makes you stand up, tap you feet, and pat your hands. Thanks for this one! Touches your soul! Thank U Jesus, all praises be unto You!
The 32 people that dislike this must have perfect lives. I can sure say this, I've been in some battles and didn't know how I was go come of it. I'm here to tell you I came out strong as ever. You can't tell me my God ain't good.
THAT,S CHURCH GATHERING MUSIC,HAND CLAPPING N FEET STOMPING,GOD CAN N WILL USE,THIS WAS DEACON MIKE GILCHREST DEVOTIONAL SONG,MAN CAN HE SING N GET U IN THE HOLY SPRIT,R.I.P.,MR MIKE
I love the way the rhythm begins to take over his body. He first adjust his tie, then his shoulders and then the movements of his clutches are all synchronized. Over voices are in tune with the university.
I need this right now. He's a battle axe. In the time of the battle shelter in the time of the storm. Been in the Army for 16 years with 4 years left for 20 been in hell and saw God in the burning flame 2004 in Mosul iraq fob marez dfac. Walked out of it untouched only a lil tiny metal nicked my forehead. Walked thru the desert in Iraq the people didnt harm me but was said to me Lawrence it's not your fight and it's his and yall know who I'm referring too. Even in battle he's a battle axe. That was 15 years ago and the battle axe still going here in fort story va. Keep me in prayer
God is great all the time all the time God is great if you listening to this if you was able to be blessed to hear the spirit in this song that just brought tears to my eyes that you know the holy spirit is always with us and don't fear death because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord amen amen Hallelujah peace love and harmony so are the children of God in their family
Lord please help,take care of my physical, emotional, and mental needs.... you sit high and look low and you know father god I don't want me or my children around my family chaotic household bless me with a apartment so I can usher my kids through life the right way because i don't need this or deserve this
Oh yes! You need that Battle Axe! Amen, amen. Those deacon's leading praise goes wayyyyyy back home...Shiloh, Starlight and Republican Baptist Churches in LA! Foot-stompin' music from the soul.
I appreciate characters of strength and struggle! What don't kill you only makes you better! More power and strength to endure and overcome! Thanks for sharing!
Looking at this video has taken me back to my childhood when church was church, for those of you who never experienced that back woods, smelling the wood from the pews without the cushion, sangings or what some called choir anniversary.
Amen! We too can be like our master! We are in a battle, it's time to let the Spirit lead, we are to be as Christ was while here on earth, if He lives in us, and we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are battleaxes, we have loved ones out there in this dying world! Its time to rise up and shine!
The first gentleman sounds like the lead on "Pressing my way", same voice, same rasp! The Deacon's got a great voice too!!! He's got a big wide voice placed on a slim build!!!

LYRICS HE'S A BATTLE-AXE
FLORIDA MASS CHOIR LEAD BY DEACON SAFFORD
Chorus
He's a battle-axe (in the time of the battle)
He's a battle-axe (in the time of the battle)
Children, He's a battle-axe (in the time of the battle)
Oh yeah, shelter in the time of the storm
Verse 1
Well you can't do like Jesus did
Not a mumbling word He said
He walked right down to Lazarus grave
And raised him from the dead
Verse 2
Well, I'm going down to that river
Gonna stand there like a man
Unbuckle my sword right off of my side and
Stick it in the golden sand
Verse 3
Well I load my gun with the Holy Ghost
And I pull my trigger with prayer
King Jesus is my captain
And I shoot for sin and win
Verse 4
I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come unto me and rest.”
"Lay down thy weary one lay down
Thy head upon my breast."
Verse 5
Father I stretch my hand to thee
No other help I know
If thou withdraw Thyself from me
Oh, whither shall I go?
tanti tramell Thanks for the words T.T.
Thank you, I have been trying for years to get these words. Now, maybe I can sing them before I leave my congregation. THANK YOU EMENSLY.

Thank you for allowing me a glimpse of the people's cries to God. This music transports to a place that can only be described as intense struggle. Praise God for the battle and journey taken and prayers for the future struggle.
