Petra - Mine Field lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on Proverbs 3:6, 1 Peter 5:8, Matthew 16:24

Smell the burning powder?

There's danger in the air

A voice from deep inside is telling you, 'you must beware'

Then enemy is watching

Every step you take

To find his opportunity in every choice you make

And it's no game

When someone lives without His grace

And who's to blame

When it blows up in their face

It's a mine field - you'd better follow Him through

God knows the way - you'd better stick like glue

It's a mine field - better stay on His heels

'cause the enemy kills and the enemy steals

So keep your head down and keep you eyes peeled

'cause life is...

Life is a mine field

Think the grass is greener?

You'd better look around

Everywhere you look another casualty is found

The enemy is waiting

For you to start to run

Waiting like an itchy finger on a loaded gun

Some may feel

They can wander out too far

They may heal

But they may always wear the scar

Better leave the navigation to the One who knows the Way

He will bring illumination

He will light your path each day

It's a mine field - better watch where you tread

Step off the path and you could end up dead

It's a mine field - better stay on His heels

'cause the enemy kills and the enemy steals

So keep your head down and keep your eyes peeled

'cause life is...

Life is a mine field
