(Verse 1)
A final word echoes in the dark
Be strong, let His power leave its mark
The enemy is closing in, the shadows start to crawl
Gotta suit up, gotta stand up, gotta be ready for the fall
It's not flesh and blood that we're fighting tonight
It's the unseen rulers, the authorities of the night
Mighty powers in this dark and troubled world
Against the evil spirits, every banner unfurled.
(Chorus)
Put on the whole armor, every piece of God's design
Resist the evil time, a soldier on the line
Stand your ground, feel the fire in the soul
After the battle's done, you'll still be standing whole.
(Verse 2)
Strap the belt of truth tight around your waist
No time for lies, no time for waste
The body armor, bright and pure, of God’s own righteousness
This is the shield against the wicked's harsh caress
For shoes, lace up the peace from the Good News' sound
So you’re fully prepared when your feet hit the ground.
(Chorus)
Put on the whole armor, every piece of God's design
Resist the evil time, a soldier on the line
Stand your ground, feel the fire in the soul
After the battle's done, you'll still be standing whole.

(Bridge)
Hold up the shield of faith, watch the arrows cease
Stopping the devil’s flame, finding inner peace
Salvation's the helmet, secured on your head
Take the Sword of the Spirit, the words that He said.
(Outro)
The night is almost gone, the sun is breaking through
The day of salvation is waiting for you
Tear off the dark deeds, throw away the dirt
And put on the shining armor, so you can't be hurt
Pray in the Spirit, stay alert, keep the faith alive
Pray for all believers, so we all survive.
(repeated with intensity until fade)
Stand Firm!
Whole Armor!
Be Strong!
The Word!
