1) Intro

2) An Ice Cold Warfare
4:00, lyrics:
The time has come to change the world
To bring the light into the darkness
Obstacles on my path
Your mercy move them away
Now i fight for the righteous word of yours
To let the whole world see your glory.
The light will prevail over the darkness
To fight for the righteous in this world
The earth will be once renewed in the righteous
Too let the light shine through.
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world
because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
The light will prevail over the darkness
To fight for the righteous in this world/
The earth will be once renewed in the righteous
Too let the light shine through.
3) Vår gud han er så fast en borg
4:53, lyrics:
Vår Gud han er så fast en borg,
han er vårt skjold og verge.
Han hjelper oss av nød og sorg
og vet oss vel å berge.
Vår gamle fiende hård
til strid imot oss står.
Stor makt og arge list
han bruker mot oss visst.
Vår egen makt er intet verd,
vi vare snart nedhugne,
men én går frem i denne ferd,
for ham må allting bugne.
Vil du hans navn få visst?
Han heter Jesus Krist,
den høvding for Guds hær,
i ham kun frelse er.
På jord er ei hans like.
Om verden full av djevler var
som ville oss oppsluke,
vi frykter ei, vi med oss har
den mann som dem kan true.
Er verdens fyrste vred
og vil oss støte ned,
han ingenting formår,
fordi alt dømt han går.
Vår egen makt er intet verd,
vi vare snart nedhugne,
men én går frem i denne ferd,
for ham må allting bugne.
Vil du hans navn få visst?
Han heter Jesus Krist,
den høvding for Guds hær,
i ham kun frelse er.
På jord er ei hans like.
4) To Him Be the Power
3:26, lyrics:
Be alert and of sober mind
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour
Resist him, resist him, resist him, resist him.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ
After you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong
To him be the power for ever and ever.
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ
After you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong
To him be the power for ever and ever.
5) Psalm 44
4:00, lyrics:
We have heard it with our ears, my God, our ancestors have told us what You did in their days
With Your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors.
You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.
Through You we push back our enemies; through Your name we trample our foes.
I put no trust in my bow, my sword does brings me no victory.
but You give us victory over our enemies, You put our adversaries to shame.
It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory
it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, for You loved them
In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise Your name forever.You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.
Through You we push back our enemies; through Your name we trample our foes.
I put no trust in my bow, my sword does brings me no victory.
but You give us victory over our enemies, You put our adversaries to shame.

00:57 (war samples)
2) A Cold Spiritual Warfare Pt II
3:16, lyrics:
The dark army attacked us and now we are seeking shelter
Under the wings of God we are protected by His mighty Holy Spirit
Darkness does not stand a chance against the light
A light that only Jesus can prevail.
So we ride for war, but not by our own flesh
The Holy Spirit of God who will grant us power
Remember the days you were blessed
Those days you were put to the test
You are worthy to carry His name on the chest.
So we wait in silence and patience till His return
We are gonna change the world by His word
He has not come to judge us, but to save us
To give us a better destination towards His kingdom.
3) Almighty Father
3:36, lyrics:
You're my mighty Father who released me from this prison
You granted me Your freedom and overwhelming joy
You're the light that has not been defeated
Your Son crushed Satan
Now we rejoice in Yeshua.
You have me given me a joy, an overwhelming joy
The chains have been unchained and I have been set free
To tell all creatures [of earth] the truth of the gospel
The gospel that will change the world towards salvation.
4) My Stronghold
3:17, lyrics:
Praise be to the Lord my rock
Who trains my hands for war
My fingers for battle, He is my loving God and my fortress.
My stronghold and my deliverer
My shield in whom I take refuge
Who subdues peoples under me.
For the word of God is alive and active
Sharper than any double-edged sword
It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit
Joints and marrow, it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
My stronghold and my deliverer
My shield in whom I take refuge
Who subdues peoples under me.
5) Zechariah's Prophecy
4:01, lyrics:
Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel
because He has visited
and provided redemption for His people
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of His servant David
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare his ways, to give his people knowledge of salvation
Through the forgiveness of their sins
He has dealt mercifully with our fathers and remembered His holy covenant
The oath that He swore to our father [Abraham]
He has given us the privilege
since we have been rescued
from the hand of our enemies
to serve Him without fear.
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare his ways, to give his people knowledge of salvation
Through the forgiveness of their sins
He has dealt mercifully with our fathers and remembered His holy covenant
The oath that He swore to our father [Abraham]
Cold Hearts (EP, 26 February, 2019, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)
1) Cold Hearts
4:16, lyrics:
The cold is spreading through the heart of the human being
A black shadow with the absence from the light
Darkness and the depression has spread throughout his mind
Lost he will be find, there is no rewind
When we die our soul leaves our body, to the eternal judgment
We are given the everlasting chance to live forever through our lord Jesus Christ.
Our heavenly father cares much about us,
He don't want us to suffer eternity in Hell
He wants us to love each other as He have loved us
And in the end see all His glory for eternity.
Actions in this life will get consequences in the afterlife
We are eternal forgiven by the holy blood of the Son
Hearts will be melted of the free grace
That He did in your place
The way out of the maze.
Our heavenly father cares much about us,
He don't want us to suffer eternity in Hell
He wants us to love each other as He have loved us
And in the end see all His glory for eternity.
And in the end see all His glory for eternity.
2) Never Again
3:15, lyrics:
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth
And that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
The Lord regretted that He had made human beings on the earth,
and His heart was deeply troubled, for He regretted that He have made them.
The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in His heart,
"Never again will I curse the ground because of humans
Even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood
And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done."
The Lord regretted that He had made human beings on the earth,
and His heart was deeply troubled, for He regretted that He have made them.
The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in His heart,
"Never again will I curse the ground because of humans."
3) Letter Kills
4:06, lyrics:
You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry
Written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God
Not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
Such confidence we have through Christ before God
Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves
But our competence comes from God.
He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant.
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again?
Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts.
Such confidence we have through Christ before God
Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves
But our competence comes from God.
He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant.
Not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
4) Lord's Prayer
1:13, lyrics:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
