Be strong in the Lord in the power of His might,
Stand firm as His servant and as a bold knight;
Put on the full armour of God against the devil,
Stand against all he represents that is so evil;
For we wrestle not against what we can see,
What we have become blind to is the real key;
Against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
Against spiritual wickedness that has unfurled;
Take the full armour of God and able to resist,
In the days of evil as those forces still persist;
Have your loins girt about you with the facts,
Breastplates with purity tied behind your backs;
Your feet shod with the prep of the gospel of peace,
Take the shield of faith for fiery darts never cease;
Take the helmet of salvation and the Spirit's sword,
Because for this is truly blessed with God's word:
Praying always with a prayer to the our Creator,
Watch with all perseverance for none are greater;
That I may open my mouth boldly to speak to you,
Make known the mystery of the gospel which is true.
