"O Church, arise, and put your armour on;
Hear the call of Christ our captain.
For now the weak can say that they are strong,
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth,
We'll stand against the devil's lies.
An army bold, whose battle cry is love,
Reaching out to those in darkness."
I love the way this song mixes a great message with a fun, upbeat tune. In Christ the weak are made strong. In Christ we can withstand the devil and his lies. We fight a battle, but we don't have to wonder who will win. The outcome is securely in the hands of our Heavenly King.
We do need to put our armour on though. We need to put on faith and truth. We need to listen for our Captain's call and get out into the battle. The darkness is deepening all around us. We are being called to battle. Are we listening? Arise, O church, arise!
