SOLDIER OF LOVE
Hold your head up
Keep your helmet on
Remember Jesus
He is your salvation
You are a soldier of love
Marching in a world war
Remember Jesus
His Word is your sword
Guard your frail human heart
Keep your shield out in front
Remember Jesus
He taught us how to love
Wrap yourself in perfect truth
Remember to trust Jesus
Hold your head up
Keep your helmet on
Remember Jesus
He is your salvation
You are a soldier of love
Marching in a world war
Remember Jesus
His Word is your sword
Guard your frail human heart
Keep your shield out in front
Remember Jesus
He taught us how to love
Wrap yourself in perfect truth
Remember to trust Jesus
Let God's armor remind you
You are a soldier of love
You are a soldier of love

Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that
after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand yourground, putting on the
sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put
on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared.
In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at
you by Satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power
of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians
everywhere. A final word: Be strong with the Lord's mighty power. Put on all
of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and
tricks of the Devil. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and
blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against
those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world... EPHESIANS 6:10-12
ARMOR OF GOD
On a shelf of forgotten books I found a rusted Sword that
once was used to fight a war when I was newborn in the Lord.
Pieced together page by page I began to see my old Shield of Faith
Bent and scarred from spiritual battle still it was solid in my hand.
Broken breastplate stained by Blood caused my heart to skip as I
recalled God's unfailing love! I discovered the Belt of Truth I'd
proudly worn and remembered the day I took it off to pursue
something more. A bruised helmet lay near Jesus' Cross in a
corner by itself, still full of aweful memories of His horrible
death which saved my soul from Hell - and when I'd put
on the leather boots designed to guard my feet I turned
and faced the darkness again with a resolute peace.
In the 6th chapter of the Book of Ephesians I found
what it was missing in my service for the Lord. The
Armor of God I lay aside so many years ago was
still waiting for me to put it on and start to grow.
