BATTLE CRY

I am weak for I am small -
in the battle with the devil
But I have an armor - to protect
me
And I am not alone - you see
On my head, protecting my mind
- I wear my salvation
Daily, minute by minute - Saving
me from my very own thoughts
Over my heart I wear a plate
- Righteousness - purity
Protecting me, true -
the laws of God inscribed within
My heart is protected - without
- within
My loins - my strength - my
virtue is pure
Protected by truth - Thy Word
is Truth - Thy name is true
Thy gospel of salvation is
true
My path is set by the
gospel of peace
Protecting from falls - protecting
from snares
I hold up firmly a shield
before
Faith to defy any attack against
me
Sickness is healing - when
faith is held strong
Destitution is wealth - for
faith cannot lie
Needs are provisions - I cannot
fail
Faith protects from all attacks
- Thy Word is a Sword to attack
All else protects - but Thy
Word goes forth
It will not return unto Thee
void
It slices through all evil
- it pierces to the core
God, oh, God - dress me I pray
In the armor to protect - against
the evil of this day
I need help, oh, Lord - please
not by might, not by power
But, by Thy Spirit I pray -
guide me so I do not fail
Charge Your angels to help
me - I pray
Oh, God, once I was evil -
of mind, heart, and deed
Lord, protect me - I pray -
lest I e'er turn astray
God - I love you - oh, truly
I do
I cannot see you - but, I know
that You are
Have mercy on me - for I am
but dust
I hunger and struggle - I battle
each moment
Alone, oh, Lord God - alone
I am in war
Help me so I do not sin - help
me so to Heaven I shall win
Lord, God, You alone are my
salvation
Save me, oh, Lord, save me
even from my very own self.
