God's Armour


The Bible tells us that we
Should never fight the enemy
Unless we're standing firm and strong
With God's Holy armour on
For each piece was meant to be
Full protection for you and me
If we will wear it everyday
We can stand up and firmly say

Satan I know you won't win
This fierce battle we are in
As long as I am standing strong
With my father's armour on
I know you're someone I can't see
But God's Spirit stands with me
While I have God's armour on
I will never turn and run

I have God's helmet on my head
As by His Spirit I am led
I have my sword that is His word
You've been defeated, you must have heard
That if I stand in faith today
And rebuke you, you'll go away
Your darts won't pierce my shield of faith
All you stand for are lies and hate

I will not have to run away
In confidence I'll stand and say
Lord as I stand upon your word
I know that I am being heard
I resist him now, submit to you
Because I know your word is true
You promised in your word to me
If I resist him, he would flee
