What's powerful about this song isn't its war images, but its demonstration of Christian hope and faith. The singer realizes that the conflict is ultimately within his own heart, and he refuses to heed the battle call. Instead, he claims the victory that Jesus won.....inspite of the horror he has witnessed. I thought of this song on 9/11/2001. Too bad more people didn't/don't understand its point.

@montresor I can see no reference to any victory, won by Jesus or anyone else. Please explain!
