Gladiator
Lyrics by Fabian Ng

Warrior, you've fought so much,
In this everlasting battle of hearts,
You think you're gonna win.

You've focused too much,
On the victory in the past,
On how many foes that you've slain.

Chorus:
Gladiator, you've fallen from me,
Like a branch from it's own tree,
Fighting your battles on your own strength.
Yet this is where you belong,
My arms of love will hold you strong,
Come back gladiator, come back, return to me.

Now you find yourself in the pits,
Around you the enemy sits,
Your soul is on the verge of defeat.

Yet all is not gone,
I can make you carry on,
It's just whether you'll call out to me.

Chorus:
Gladiator, you've fallen from me,
Like a branch from it's own tree,
Fighting your battles on your own strength.
Yet this is where you belong,
My arms of love will hold you strong,
Come back gladiator, come back, return to me.

Bridge:
Shed that armor of fear and hate,
Fit on my armor, my breastplate,
For the battle is not for you to go alone,
So cast away that heart of stone
Come with me
Come with me...

Chorus:
Gladiator, you've fallen from me,
Like a branch from it's own tree,
Fighting your battles on your own strength.
Yet this is where you belong,
My arms of love will hold you strong,
Come back gladiator, come back, return to me.

"Dear Lord,
I wanna be a gladiator depending on your strength today. Even when friends forsake as I make my mistake, I know that you will always be there with me. Yes, there will be pain in battle, but there is never a battle that could be won without you. So Lord, I come back to you today, help me depend on Your strength.
Amen."

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
