rise up
I said rise up!
I.
Sharper than any two edged sword
is the word of my Lord
strike down the enemy with one accord
rise up, put on the armor of God
REFRAIN:
Oh, oh, early in the morning
rise up, put on the armor of God
Oh, oh early in the morning
get up and put on the armor of God
II.
Buckle the truth around your waist
trust in God, His goodness taste
fasten it carefully, not in haste
rise up put on the armor of God
REFRAIN
III.
And to guard your righteousness
fasten that plate across your chest
strap on a pair of those sturdy shoes
ready to tell of God’s good news
REFRAIN
IV.
Put on the helmet of Saving Grace
take up the powerful shield of faith
stand your ground and hold your place
rise up, put on the armor of God
REFRAIN
