"The Whole Armor of God" encourages us to remember to pray and read scriptures daily to clothe ourselves with the Armor of God so we can be protected against temptation.
Verse 1
When I wake up in the morning
And get ready for my day,
I’m glad when I remember
To stop and pray right away
For I can't be my best
Without the breastplate of righteousness;
The helmet of salvation
Keeps my thoughts free from temptation.
When I hold up the shield of faith,
The Lord is watching, keeping me safe:
When I pray to Heav’nly Father as I ought,
I put on the whole armor of God.
Verse 2
When I’m going and I’m coming,
When I work and when I play,
It's the Word of God I ponder
And do my best to obey.
For I’ve learned in my youth
The need for girding myself with truth;
I wield the sword of Spirit,
With each prompting as I hear it.
I know the Lord will guide my feet
When I walk with the gospel of peace:
When I read and heed the scriptures as I ought,
I put on the whole armor of God.
