Be Strong in God

Be strong in God and in His pow­er;

Put on His ar­mor every day.

Thus you can take your stand each hour;

The de­vil’s schemes won’t lead you as­tray.

The bat­tle’s like a flood

Though not ’gainst flesh and blood;

But ’gainst the spir­it­ual realm

With Sa­tan at the helm;

You face the powers of dark­ness.

Take God’s full ar­mor—your life sur­round

So when the day of ev­il ap­pears

You’ll then be able to stand your ground

And aft­er all

to stand with­out fear.

Stand firm

then

in the faith

The belt of truth in place;

Breastplate of right­eous­ness

Feet shod with rea­di­ness

That comes from the true Gos­pel of peace.

Take

ov­er all

the shield of faith

To quench the flam­ing ar­rows out­poured.

Salvation’s hel­met wear ov­er your face

And take the Word

the Spir­it’s sword.

Pray in the Spir­it’s pow­er

All kinds of pray­ers each hour.

Be al­ways on alert

And pray for all the Church.

Through God you’ll win the bat­tle!
