Mine Field Lyrics

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
