Same melody as “I’m in the Lord’s Army, Yes Sir, / / / I may never march in the infantry. . . ”
(Chorus line) I fight in the Lords’ army – Yes sir!
I fight in the Lords’ armor – Yes sir!

SONG
(Chorus)
I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness,
Protects my spirit like a vest
As I obey the Lord with zest,
And the Shield of Faith I carry lest,
The enemy’s arrows come right through.
(Chorus)
And with the Belt of truth I also dress,
I learn the Word and then express
Gods’ absolutes with tenderness,
And in my Helmet there’s no need for stress,
Because Salvation is secure
(Chorus)
I prepare my Feet with the Readiness
To tell the News that will bless,
That God forgives when we confess
And when I feel the enemy start to press
I strike them with the Word of God and Prayer!
(1st line of Chorus)
