The battle is fierce
It yieldeth much tears
For we wrestle not they
Who fall easy when we sway.
It yieldeth much tears
For we wrestle not they
Who fall easy when we sway.
Their blows they rain down
Blood bleaches our gown
But they fight and prevail not
For by his blood we are bought.
Our loins are girded with truth,
So conquer we the evil brute.
Our helmet of salvation is sure,
Our safety in the Lord is pure.
When blows adorn our breast
Our souls shall be at rest
For our firm breastplate
From righteousness ‘twas create.
We have we the shield of faith
That hands us our enemies’ gate.
By the Sword of the Spirit
Our enemies we defeat.
We trample snakes and scorpions
Boldly waiting to battle lions
And we walk on coals with ease
For our feet are sandalled with peace.
So we fear not the valleys of death
No for danger or pestilence fret
Knowing we fight not flesh and blood
For our hope lies in Our God.
…put you on the whole Armour of god that you might be able to stand.
Good one bro, but I think this lines should read:
“Our helmet of salvation is [pure]
Our safety in the Lord is [sure]”
@scopeman60, thanks for reading but i beg to disagree
SURE as used here meant STABLE/SOLID:
Definition of SURE
1
obsolete : safe from danger or harm
2
: firmly established : steadfast
3
: reliable, trustworthy
PURE as used refers to a quality that has no taint as is the safety which we get in the Lord
a (1) : free from what vitiates, weakens, or pollutes (2) : containing nothing that does not properly belong b : free from moral fault or guilt
thanks again sire, i really appreciate
