Michael W. Smith's song 'This Is How I Fight My Battles' is a worship anthem about overcoming spiritual struggles through praise. Drawing from the biblical concept of exchanging the spirit of heaviness for a garment of praise, the lyrics emphasize that believers are not alone in their battles but are surrounded by God's presence. The repetitive, declarative style reinforces the message that praise is a weapon in spiritual warfare. The song encourages listeners to shift their focus from apparent circumstances to God's surrounding protection and victory.

The word says
"For the spirit of heaviness
Put on the garment of praise"
That's how we fight our battles

This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles

It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You

This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles...
This is how I fight my battles

It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You

This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles

It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You

This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles

This is how we fight our battles
This is how we fight our battles

This is how we fight
This is how we fight our battles
This is how we fight our battles
This is how we fight our battles
This is how we fight our battles
