Battles

By The Afters

1,407 views Jul 14, 2026 updated Verified editorial review

The Afters' song 'Fighting My Battles' is a contemporary Christian worship anthem about trusting God's protection and strength in times of fear and weakness. The lyrics use imagery of an enemy army and crumbling sand castles to describe personal struggles, but the singer declares that God goes before them, parts oceans, and fights their battles. The song emphasizes that God's love is armor against evil, and that darkness flees from His light. It reassures listeners that even when feet fail and hearts shake, God is fighting for them. The repeated refrain 'In my weakness you are strong' echoes the biblical theme of God's power made perfect in human weakness.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

This current is trying to wreck me

Like castles of sand, castles of sand.

My fear, like an enemy army

Is marching again, but I'm making a stand.


You surround me on every side

Your love is my armor I fear no evil.

Darkness runs from your light

So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid.


You're going before me

And oceans are parting

You're fighting my battles.

When my feet are failing

And my heart is shaking

You're fighting my battles.


Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.


Time after time you're my refuge,

You heal every scar you're guarding my heart.

Your promise, the hope that I cling to,

My rescue, my friend you come rushing in.


And surround me on every side

Your love is my armor I fear no evil.

Darkness runs from your light

So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid


You're going before me

And oceans are parting

You're fighting my battles.

When my feet are failing

And my heart is shaking

You're fighting my battles.


Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.


Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.


In my weakness you are strong

Every trouble you have overcome

In my weakness you are strong

Every trouble you have overcome

In my weakness you are strong

Every trouble you have overcome

You have overcome


You're going before me

And oceans are parting

You're fighting my battles.

When my feet are failing

And my heart is shaking

You're fighting my battles.


Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.


Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.

Fighting my battles.
