The Whole Armor of God
"'The Whole Armor of God' is a lively children's song written to inspire preparation and readiness to follow the Savior and to always have His spirit to be with them: A reminder to pray and read scriptures daily, to put on the Armor of God to be protected against temptation. "Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword..." (Hebrews 4:12).
Lyrics
Text: Toni Thomas Music: Diane Tuiofu
Verse one
When I wake up in the morning
And get ready for my day,
I’m glad when I remember
To stop and pray right away
For I can't be my best
Without the breastplate of righteousness;
The helmet of salvation
Keeps my thoughts free from temptation.
When I hold up the shield of faith,
The Lord is watching, keeping me safe:
When I pray to Heav’nly Father as I ought,
I put on the whole armor of God.
Verse two
When I’m going and I’m coming,
When I work and when I play,
It's the Word of God I ponder
And do my best to obey.
For I’ve learned in my youth
The need for girding myself with truth;
I wield the sword of Spirit,
With each prompting as I hear it.
I know the Lord will guide my feet
When I walk with the gospel of peace:
When I read and heed the scriptures as I ought,
I put on the whole armor of God.
