Verso 1

O church arise and put your armor on
Hear the call of Christ our captain
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given

Refrão 1

With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies
An army bold whose battle cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness

Verso 2

Our call to war to love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor

Refrão 2

When faced with trials on ev'ry side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations

Verso 3

Come see the cross
Where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes lie
Crushed beneath His feet
For the Conqueror has risen

Refrão 3

And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from the grave
This vict'ry march continues till the day
Ev'ry eye and heart will see Him

Verso 4

So Spirit come put strength in ev'ry stride
Give grace for ev'ry hurdle
That we may run
With faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful

Refrão 4

As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls
And hunger for the day
When with Christ we stand in glory
