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
