The armour of God
Based on [Ephesians 6:10-18](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+6%3A10-18&version=NIV)
It helps, in the Lord, to be strong Especially when things go wrong And in his mighty power rest So you can endure every test
Before each day starts to progress Be sure to don your battle dress It helps make you ready and fit When you put on all of the kit
If in this armour you are found It will aid you to stand your ground To fight the fight against the foe As through this life you onward go
Be sure the belt of truth is tight Around your waist so you do right The righteous breastplate on your chest To protect you in each contest
And prepare shoes upon your feet That share God’s peace with those you meet Take up faith, your protective shield ‘gainst the arrows Satan will wield
Salvation’s helmet on your head Reassurance where’er you’re led Fin’lly brandish the Spirit’s sword Taking God’s Holy word on board
Now you are ready for the day Just don’t forget that you can pray In the Spirit in many ways Standing firm and giving God praise
