Armor of God

We all face our battles 
And I know this to be true
God's armor equips us 
To fight our way through

Our command is to be strong
In the power of his might
To be fully prepared
Against darkness to fight

God gives us spiritual armor
To enable us to stand
It guards our well being
Like God's outstretched hand.

So start with God's belt of truth
Wrapped firmly around your waist
It holds everything together
So that your trust is well placed

And put on the breastplate of righteousness
That protects your heart
Made by Christ's sacrifice
So we won't get torn apart

Then put the message of Christ's love
Upon the shoes for your feet
So wherever you travel
With God's gospel you greet

The shield built on faith
In God's everlasting love
Will fend off doubts and fears
And render peace like a dove

The place on the helmet
To guard your mind
With the assurance of Salvation
In Christ you did find

The sword of the spirit
Which is God's Word
Will help fight your battles
Because His promise is sure

Then Through prayer and thanksgiving
Lift up all that you see
To God up in heaven
Who provides faithfully.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places .

[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

[15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

[16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

[18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
