## Finding Peace in The Battle Is Not Yours by Yolanda Adams

Yolanda Adams delivers a profound message of surrender in "The Battle Is Not Yours," a gospel staple that reminds listeners where their true strength originates. The song centers on the biblical principle found in 2 Chronicles 20:15, which declares that the battle belongs to God, not to us. By shifting the focus from our own limited capacity to handle life's hardships to God’s sovereign control, the lyrics encourage a posture of trust rather than anxiety.

The song emphasizes that pain, sadness, and sorrow are not beyond the reach of Jesus. Instead of viewing struggles as obstacles, Adams frames them as opportunities for God to work through the believer. This perspective aligns with Romans 8:28, suggesting that even in difficult seasons, God is orchestrating His perfect will. By inviting listeners to release the weight of their burdens and act as vessels for His purpose, the track provides a steadying influence for anyone feeling overwhelmed. It is a practical call to stop fighting in one's own strength and allow the Lord to take the lead.

There is no pain Jesus can't feel
No hurt He cannot heal
For all things work according to His perfect will

No matter what you're going through
Remember God is using You
For the battle is not yours, it's the Lord's

There's no sadness Jesus can't feel
And there is no sorrow that He cannot heal
For all things work according to the Master's holy will

No matter what you're going through
Remember that God is only using You
For the battle is not yours, it's the Lord's

It's the Lord's, yes, it's the Lord's
Hold your head up high don't you cry
It's the Lord's, it's the Lord's
Yes, it's the Lord's

No matter what you're going through
Remember that God only wants to use you
For the battle is not yours, it's the Lord's

No matter what you happen to go through right now
Remember that in the midst of it all God only wants to use you
No matter what you're going through
For the battle is not yours, it's the Lord's

No matter what it is that you're going through
Hold your head up, stick your chest out
And remember He's using you
No matter what you're going through
God is only using you

For this battle is not yours alone
This battle is not yours, no
You can not handle it all by yourself
No, no, no, no, no, no

It's not yours
This battle is not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours

This battle is not yours
The Lord is the only one who can fight it
He wants to use you as His vessel

So be open to Him
It's not yours
No it's not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours

The battle is not yours
It's the Lord's

Hallelujah, yeah
