Warfare

You don’t fight against flesh and blood.
You fight against powers of hell;
Soldier of Christ, I command you to strike,
As Father did when Satan fell.

Think of yourself as a warrior.
Put on your armor each day;
Stand your ground with the Word of God -
Your sword for demons to slay.

Satan attacks your faith and joy.
Therefore, guard your heart;
It’s crucial to wear your breastplate.
His power can rip you apart.

Be aware of his number one goal.
He aims at your mind;
Destructive thoughts make a man go down -
Don’t leave your helmet behind.

Satan moves in on your weakness.
He’ll hit there until you‘ve sinned;
But help comes from the Holy Spirit,
And a Christian soldier friend.

Take heed if wounded or unarmed.
Be alert, and take your position;
Endure to the end of war against darkness,
Evil forces, and opposition.
