I've managed to block out memories of most of the militant songs we sang during that era. But a few keep surfacing, something like:

"War, we shall war, we shall war against the lies of Babylon.
Fight, we shall fight, we shall fight with the weapons of righteousness
For our weapons are not carnal, but mighty through the power of our Lord etc."

"Prophets of God marching along
At the end of an age
They are the ones that make things happen
That make things happen etc."

"Drunk in the van with our Apostle
Going to another L.A. service"
(Actually, I don't think this was an actual song. Just a comment from someone who rode in the van once. Please disregard.)

How about...

Jezebel the harlot
Queen of Babylon....
(forgot this verse)

Throw her from the tower
To the streets below
And let the dogs devour her bones
And reap just what she's sowed.

Because, she's been so wicked baby
She's been so wicked now
She's been so wicked
She's gonna die.

Wonderful memories of lovely seventies "worship" services. : (

The previous song sung to Heartbreak Hotel tune.

Or this, sung to We Will Rock You
(I forgot a few words.)

Jezebel the harlot (breathes?) no more
The sons of God will kill the whore
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Spreading your (lies?) all over the place

We will, we will judge you (judge you).
We will, we will judge you (judge you).

Thanks for sharing, Reep. I was snapping my fingers as I was reading it.
Catchy lyrics!
I can't recall after singing this song whether we often broke into singing in the spirit. I'll assume we did.

Lol!

Now we rise up as one
As warhorses we run
We are (judging?) everything that comes against us.
Something, something, blood and guts (just kidding).

And we won't hesitate to seal the enemy's fate
We are jealous for the name of Jehovah
And there's no sympathy for the evil we see
We are jealous for the name of Jehovah.
Yes, we're jealous for the name of Jehovah!

OMG! Please make it stop. Aaaargh!

Were those songs sung at the Shiloh siege in '79?

In the LA area I do remember a song that started this way:
"With violence in our spirits we declare a breakthrough
Hallelujah, Hallelujah"
(or something like that)

"I'm workin' and prayin' day and night
But what I really wanna do is fight
That's right, fight!"

Sorry--this is the best I can do. No wonder no one asked me to write lyrics to a kingdom song. Oh well.

possible song title: 'You Gotta Fight for your Right to Fight'
