Of this battle man can�t see -
And where does he fit in?
It�s outlined in God's Word,
Man needing armor unto him.

It is a daily battle
As the Bible does portray
That if we do not dress for it
Then it is evil that we pay.

As the enemy works on
Every man not in armor;
Those absorbed in self-thought-lies
Are sought by evil and slaughtered.

God�s Word reveals truth:
Spirit-war is not our fight
But rather that we �armor-up�
In Jesus Christ - the God of Light.

It�s His fight, not ours, He says;
But our responsibility -
To dress daily for the battle:
To �stand firm� is our duty.

The helmet of salvation;
Breastplate of righteousness;
Truth buckled �round the waist;
In sandals of Christ�s peace.

And once then fully dressed -
Pick up the Spirit�s sword,
And the shield of our faith
In the Word of Christ our Lord!

Though the battle is demonic
Invading hearts from outward-in
Know satan will attack much more;
All aspects of man�s sin.

Through Christ is promised freedom
His 'Way' who conquered sin�
For most important is to grasp
This absolute message:

Pray, faithfully each morning
Each piece of Christ�s armor:
To suit-up in Jesus-faith
In Spirit -- God-secured.

Ephesians 6:13-18
