Intro (spoken / whispered over ambience)
Be strong in the Lord
And in the power of His might
Verse 1 (low scream)
I wake to war, the air is thick with fire
Principalities breathing down my neck
This flesh is weak but the Spirit is louder
I kneel in dust—You make me stand erect
Not fighting blood, not fighting bone
This is a war beyond the throne
I don’t move forward on borrowed breath
I move by faith, I stare down death
Pre-Chorus (build / half-clean)
I don’t retreat
I don’t run
You called me to stand
Till the battle is done
Chorus (huge clean / worship)
I PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD
CLAD IN TRUTH, I’M COVERED BY THE BLOOD
I WON’T BOW, I WON’T APART
THE LION OF JUDAH GUARDS MY HEART
MIGHTY, COURAGEOUS, BRAVE AND BOLD
CLOTHED IN HEAVEN, I HOLD THE LINE
I DON’T FIGHT ALONE—THE WAR IS WON
I STAND MY GROUND IN THE SON OF GOD
Verse 2 (fast scream / chugs)
Belt of truth locked tight to my spine
No more lies in this bloodshot mind
Breastplate forged in righteousness
You sealed my heart—You named me blessed
Feet hit ground with gospel peace
I walk through hell, I don’t decrease
Every step is a forward strike
I march in the fear of the Lord Almighty
Pre-Chorus (gang shouts)
STAND—YOUR GROUND
HOLD—THE LINE
THIS IS WAR
BUT THE VICTORY’S MINE
Chorus (repeat, heavier drums)
I PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD
CLAD IN TRUTH, I’M COVERED BY THE BLOOD
I WON’T BOW, I WON’T APART
THE LION OF JUDAH GUARDS MY HEART
MIGHTY, COURAGEOUS, BRAVE AND BOLD
CLOTHED IN HEAVEN, I HOLD THE LINE
I DON’T FIGHT ALONE—THE WAR IS WON
I STAND MY GROUND IN THE SON OF GOD
Breakdown (call & response / slams)

HELMET ON!

Breakdown Tag (slower, heavier)
NOT BY MY POWER
NOT BY MY MIGHT
BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD
I WIN THIS FIGHT
Bridge (clean → scream swell)
If God is for me—who can stand against?
The grave is empty, my debt is paid
You crushed the serpent under wounded feet
I am not afraid
Bridge (full scream)
NO WEAPON FORMED
NO ARROW FIRED
CAN TOUCH THE SOUL
YOU BOUGHT WITH FIRE
Final Chorus (anthem / layered vocals)
I PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD
NO WEAPON FORMED WILL BREAK WHAT YOU BOUGHT
I WON’T BOW, I WON’T FALL APART
I’M SEALED, I’M SAVED, I’M SET APART
MIGHTY, COURAGEOUS, BRAVE AND BOLD
I STAND UNASHAMED, I STAND UNBROKEN
I DON’T FIGHT ALONE—THE WAR IS WON
I STAND MY GROUND IN THE SON OF GOD
Outro (gang chant / fade)
Stand firm.
Hold fast.
The battle belongs to the Lord.
