The Full Armor of God
My Lord loves me and keeps me protected
Cleansing all my sin, of which I was infected
So I must be a witness to His marvelous light
But first He prepares for one ferocious fight
im shown what to wear to be on guard
No longer can I live my life with no regard
What outfit is this you've placed in my sight?
It seems more affective in darkness instead of light
What are these garments used for?
I've never seen a belt quite like this before
It says Belt of Truth, what could it mean
Is this suppose to keep my heart and mind clean
With this I see there's quite a bit of preparation
Along with the belt goes the Helmet of Salvation
It protects my head and keeps my thoughts pure
Without it, this will be a fight I can't endure
This battle's intensifying, still forward I press
But not without the Breastplate of Righteousness
It allows me to stand in battle and be effective
But to you Lord my mind remains subjective
Being prepared for the battle is where it all starts
For the Shield of Faith can quench all the fiery darts
Also I wear the Sandals of Peace for a reason
For your word to be instant in an out of season
Death spoken from the tongue, I can't stand to hear it
Filled with your word, I go forth with the Sword of the Spirit
Strongholds in the heavens threatening our salvation
That can only be destroyed in Prayer and Supplication
The Lord thought of everything in this war
Let's seek out the lost souls as never before
And if you find your battle to be a bit to hard
Make sure you're wearing, the Full armor of God
