Putting On The Armour of The Lord
By Charity
Written 4-13-97


Every day when I get up from my slumber
I fall down on my knees and I pray
Then I quickly get dressed with the armour of The Lord
To guard me from Satan every day

Chorus
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)
For we wrestle not against earthly flesh and blood
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)

I have an apron of Truth that I tie around my waist
and a Breastplate of Righteousness too
I slip on my shoes that are the Gospel of Peace
The shoes that God has made for me and you

Chorus
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)
For we wrestle not against earthly flesh and blood
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)

Then I take up my Shield of Faith
to quench all of Satan's firey darts
Then I put on the Helmet of Salvation
and with the Sword of The Lord I will prevail

Chorus
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)
For we wrestle not against earthly flesh and blood
I'm putting on the armour of the Lord (Kids shout AMEN)


Amen!

I wrote this song for Children's church when we were in the study of Ephesians chapter 6.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
