Armor Up

[Verse 1]
Woke up with a weight on my chest
Same lies
Same fight
Same test
Fear says I’m already beat
But grace is lacing up my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t stand in my own strength
I know how this war is won
Every scar is just a sign
Of where Your power pulled me on
[Chorus]
So I armor up
In the name of Jesus
Belt of truth holding me together
Breastplate guarding this heart You freed
Shield of faith in the worst of weather
Helmet on
I can hear You clearer
Sword of the Spirit in my hand
I stand my ground
I stand
I stand
With all Your armor on
[Verse 2]
Voices in the dark draw near
Soft words
Sharp hooks
Fake cheer
But Your word cuts through the spin
Like daylight burning through my sin
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t fight with empty hands
Every promise is my light
When the arrows fill the sky
I lift Your name and still I rise
[Chorus]
So I armor up
In the name of Jesus
Belt of truth holding me together
Breastplate guarding this heart You freed
Shield of faith in the worst of weather
Helmet on
I can hear You clearer
Sword of the Spirit in my hand
I stand my ground
I stand
I stand
With all Your armor on
[Bridge]
When I’m weak
You’re mighty (oh)
When I fall
You hold me fast
You dress me for the battle
Till I see Your peace at last
[Chorus]
Yeah I armor up
In the name of Jesus
Belt of truth holding me together
Breastplate guarding this heart You freed
Shield of faith in the worst of weather
Helmet on
I can hear You clearer
Sword of the Spirit in my hand
I stand my ground
I stand
I stand
With all Your armor on

rock, Modern Christian rock, male vocals; driving mid-tempo groove with crunchy guitars and roomy drums. Verses stay tight and rhythmic on palm-muted riffs, pre-chorus lifts with chiming lead guitar. Big anthemic chorus with gang vocals on the hook, subtle synth pad and toms in the bridge for a battle-chant feel before a final, explosive chorus.
