Summary (one sentence):
A bold, triumphant poem celebrating the invincible truth of Romans 8:31—“If God is for us, who can be against us?”—by declaring that no enemy, power, trial, or even death itself can prevail against those whom God defends, illustrated through biblical victories and culminating in Christ’s ultimate triumph.

Core message: With God as our champion, every adversary is already defeated; therefore we stand fearless and victorious.

Who shall rise when Heaven’s banner flies?
The Almighty stands—His thunder fills the skies!
No horde of hell, no empire forged in pride,
Can breach the rampart where Jehovah hides
His chosen ones beneath the shadow of His sword.

Let Pharaoh’s chariots rattle on the shore,
Let Goliath roar and shake his spear once more—
The sea divides, the stone already sings,
The giant falls before the King of kings.
If God be for us, trembling foes are dust.

The lions’ den grows silent at His word,
The fiery furnace cools where faith is heard;
Three men walk free, a fourth like Heaven’s Son—
The flames bow low, the battle already won.

Though darkness plot and principalities rage,
Though death itself turn every mortal page,
Yet Christ has torn the veil and burst the grave—
The Victor rises, and His risen wave
Sweeps every enemy beneath eternal tide.

So lift the anthem, blood-bought and unafraid:
Our Captain fights, and every debt is paid!
If God be for us—who? Let legions come—
They charge to ruin ‘gainst the Lord of hosts’ own drum.

The gates of hell shall splinter, crack, and yield;
The Lamb Himself rides forth upon the field.
All heaven thunders, earth and grave confess:
Victorious is the Lord our Righteousness!

If God be for us—who can stand against?
Not one. Not ever.
Amen. And amen.
