We wrestle not against mere men, but spirits in high placesPowers and principalities who rule in darkened spaces
So take God’s armor, in this day where evil grimly lives,
And having done all, take a stand, equipped with all God gives.
Chorus:
Put on all God’s armor
That Christ has bought for you
Every piece from head to feet
That fully covers you.
In the Lord’s strength
You are strong
And in his might so true
To overcome the Devil’s wiles
Each victory anew!
Girt about upon your loins, with truth that never fails,
A breastplate built of righteousness, and so your heart prevails.
Shod your feet with the good news, that always brings God’s peace,
And take faith’s shield to quench the fiery darts that never cease.
Chorus:
Put on all God’s armor
That Christ has bought for you
Every piece from head to feet
That fully covers you.
In the Lord’s strength
You are strong
And in his might so true
To overcome the Devil’s wiles
Each victory anew!
Having your head covered, with a helmet, saved by Christ.
Holding in your hand, the Word of God to win the fight
Like a sword, and in the spirit, don’t forget to pray
For every saint to overcome amidst the battle’s fray.
Chorus:
Put on all God’s armor
That Christ has bought for you.
Every piece from head to feet
That fully covers you
In the Lord’s strength
You are strong
And in his might so true
To overcome the Devil’s wiles
Each victory anew!
Are you tired and weary
As around you, warfare rages?
Can you win o’er evil
That continues through the ages?
Christ will clothe you with his strength,
Just put on godly gear.
And having done all, take a stand,
Boldly without fear!
Chorus:
Put on all God’s armor
That Christ has bought for you
Every piece from head to feet
That fully covers you
In the Lord’s strength
You are strong
And in his might so true
To overcome the Devil’s wiles
Each victory anew!
