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
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
When faced with trials
On every 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
And as the stone
Is rolled away
And Christ emerges
From the grave
This victory march
Continues till the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him

Verso 4

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