Guarding Yourself

Have strength in the Lord,
A force with such might;
And in one accord,
That gives you insight.

So take up your place,
And properly dressed;
As God sheds His grace,
So you will be blessed.

Armed with the true Word,
Clothed in rectitude;
Seeing it is heard,
With good attitude.

Peace wrapping your feet,
Fitted as your shoes;
On dirt and concrete,
Walking with Good News.

Put on the armor,
Guard against evil;
Which is a charmer,
Dealt by the devil.
