Story Behind The Song
Zechariah 4:6 is theme verse of our church and we wanted to write a song that the congregation could sing in addition to quoting the verse. Our pastors are very excited about this song!
Song Description
This song was inspired from Zechariah 4:6 which declares that "...it's not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord." The song encourages believers to use the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God and the Rock of Ages to fight off the attacks of the Enemy of our souls.

Lyrics
Not By Might
Words & Music by Dino & Deborah Ascari-2007
Verse
When the enemy comes to me
Tries stealing my victory
I know in Christ that I am free
Faith is the shield I reach for
Lifting God?s word as my sword
I will declare triumphantly
Chorus
It?s not by might, it?s not by power
But by my Spirit says the Lord
It?s not by might, it?s not by power
But by my Spirit says the Lord
Verse
And when the battle rages
I look to the Rock of Ages
Because of His blood there?s no hold on me
No weapon formed can prosper
I take up His holy armor
Claiming in Christ the victory
Chorus
Bridge
He fights for me
My Victory
He fights for me
The battle belongs to the Lord
Chorus
