Lyrics

THE ARMOR OF THE LORD
© 2005 Eric Rafoth

Another day another fight
Temptations trying to get the best of me
It's not that I don?t know what?s right
I'm just not as strong as I should be

This battle between dark and light
In the war of truth and lies
Is taking all my energy
Oh Lord I need you by my side

So I strap on my defenses
And I hit my knees to pray
Prepare to face the enemy
And fight another day

So take me as I am Lord
A soldier fighting sin
Lead me into battle
Without You I can?t win

Cause the shield of faith is sturdy
And the belt of truth is tight
The Spirit?s sword is glistening
As I swing with all my might

I shall be victorious
In the armor of the glorious Lord
In the armor of the Lord
In the armor of the Lord
In the armor of the Lord

I have tasted victory
But there's no time to stop and rest
The enemy has reinforced and he?s ready
To put me to another test

So cunningly and patiently
In my weakness there he waits
Another opportunity
Oh Lord to snare me with the bait

It?s a never-ending battle
In a never-ending quest
The struggle for the truth
In this world of emptiness

So take me as I am Lord
A soldier fighting sin
Lead me into battle
Without You I can?t win

Cause the shield of faith is sturdy
And the belt of truth is tight
Spirit?s sword is glistening
As I swing with all my might

I shall be victorious
In the armor of the glorious Lord
In the armor of the Lord
In the armor of the Lord
In the armor of the Lord

(Repeat Chorus)
