Fast rising gospel music minister, Dr. John Mo is out with his sophomore single titled “Fight These Battles”, following the well-received debut release, “Hallelujah.”
“I was coming from the usual choir rehearsals one night when my car had a fault and stopped on the highway. I wound up and was making calls to get help for the situation. Suddenly, armed men came around, shattered my car window and forcefully gained access to me. They took away my phone and the lots I had with me. They left me gripped with fear and I realized how powerless and how close I was to being killed by armed men who have no regard for lives. In pain, I pondered on how I was robbed in a twinkle of an eye and left broken despite all I believe I could do.
“Just then, the Spirit said to me, “John, you can’t fight the battles alone. I am your defense and the God of vengeance – I keep, and I’ve kept you!”. Instantly, I submitted to God saying “Lord, I’m so sorry to trust in my strength. Henceforth, please fight my battles for me so I’d always hold my peace (Exodus 14:14).” On my way to another choir rehearsal the next day, the lyrics of “Fight These Battles” began to drop in my spirit in bits like droplets of rain. As I meditated on His word afterwards, and thinking of the battles of my life, the writing of the song was complete.
“Today, I have peace within me, knowing that the Almighty God fights my battles. Truly, If we turn all our battles to God in prayers, in praise and trust in him, we’ll surely be victorious. The God of vengeance always wins the war; He won’t start losing with yours. May this song bring you to that level of understanding and provoke your testimonies in Jesus name, Amen.” – Dr. John Mo
This track “Fight These Battles” features Minister Hope Imeh and was amazingly produced by Soji Adesola.

Intro:
Many times I tried to fight the battles of my life alone but I failed.
So I turned to Jesus, saying, Lord fight these battles for me
and I’ll hold my peace.
Verse 1:
I’ve fought so many times alone
But I lost the battles
My emotions couldn’t help me out
In my defeat, I cried alone.
True, by strength no man prevails
For the battle is the Lord’s
Fight these battles for me
Take away my pain
Victory belongs to You
Lord arise for me
Fight these battles for me
Wipe away my tears
Victory belongs to You
‘Cos You always win the war
Verse 2:
So You clapped, the feet of the lepers
The enemies fled in the sound of a rage
You spoke to the storm and the troubled sea
There was calm and peace all around
You parted the waters for Your own
Yet You drowned the enemies and their chariots
Yes, You did, Mighty God
Oooh yeah
Fight these battles for me
Take away my pain (Take away my pain)
Victory belongs to You
Lord arise for me
Fight these battles for me
Wipe away my tears (Wipe away my tears)
Victory belongs to You
‘Cos You always win the war.
(fight these battles)

Fight these battles for me (Take away my pain)
Take away my pain (For the victory belongs to God)
