Put On God's Armour

God will never fail us
Even though we fail Him
He’s willing to give a second chance
When we stumble over sin

And yes from time to time
Sin creeps into our lives
So subtly does Satan attack 
Unaware, sin gets inside

Our armour must be worn
At all times, night and day
Don’t let your guard down for a minute
For Satan will find a way

To destroy all our dreams
And upset all our plans
To bring confusion to our minds
So we fail to understand

What is really happening
As he gains more control
To eventually destroy us all
And take captive our souls

But as we stand on God’s word
Satan’s plans will not succeed
For greater is He that dwells in us
Than Satan and his deeds

We need to read God’s word
Each and every day
So we will be fully equipped
And a warrior when we pray

So daily gird yourself
With the armour that you need
Each piece is needed for battle
To defeat our enemy

And Christ has won the battle
Over death and our sin
Satan will always remain defeated
And Jesus shall always win
