A Joyful Battle Cry

MP3 Music Playlist: 
I am reading Jesus of Nazareth- Holy Week -  a second time by Pope Benedict. For anyone who has not read it, I highly recommend it. It was through His humanity - His humility, His obedience and His laying down His human life for us, as the second Adam, that he waged spiritual warfare and defeated Satan and won for us salvation/Eternal Life. This victory was won with the close collaboration of the new Eve as St. Irenaeus and many other Church fathers have pointed out. I wrote this song after pondering this. I pasted the lyrics before and now I have uploaded the song successfully.
LYRICS
    A JOYFUL BATTLE CRY
Let everyone exult and sing
Before our gracious Queen and King
The New Adam and Eve
Who give hope and joy to all who believe
Now we who serve in their ranks
With power prayers of Praise and Thanks
They lead us on to victory
With the angels and saints in the heavenlies
They showed us how to fight
In their obedience and humble life
She served as  mother and wife
He for us laid down His life
The Queen of angels at her command
Sends us angels as we make a stand
Against the pride of the evil ones
With the pure power of the divine Son
She leads us to humility
The power virtue we need daily
To defeat the pride and treachery
Of the proud lion who roams cunninly
She calls us to pray the rosary
And to ponder scripture daily
To read the lives of the saints holy
To love our neighbor and human enemies
He invites us to receive Him daily 
Body blood soul and divinity
To offer ourselves with His sacrifice
As the way to live now fully
To deny ourselves daily
As the way to victory
With Him in Heaven
Sharing in His divine glory
Then in the fullness of time
When all creation He will redesign
According to his Divine will
And our deepest desire will be fulfilled 
Our bodies will be glorified
We will be one with Him as his bride
And we will share fully
In His divine glory
