Don't forget your sword!

 

Bow down to your King,

And put your armour on,

There is no other course,

When the battle is raging strong.

With the helmet of salvation,

Protect your mind from sin,

Renew your thoughts with the word,

To strengthen yourself from within.

With the breastplate of righteousness,

Protect and fortify your heart,

It is the wellspring of life,

And where the attack will start.

Buckle up your belt,

It may be a bumpy ride,

 But girded with the truth,

You can take it in your stride.

Put on your sturdy shoes,

To take the gospel of peace,

Everywhere and anywhere,

Christs fragrance to release.

Lift up your head and Praise Him,

Defeat the enemy with your song,

 Remember that its a battle,

And you need to stay strong.

Almost ready for action,

Just don't forget your sword,

The devil can be defeated,

Slayed, by the truth of the word.

Your shield of faith is gleaming,

Shining like the light of the sun,

Keep praising continually, 

And this battle will be won.

We are more than conquerors,

Stay strong and win the day,

When all is done stand firm,

And never neglect to pray.
