There's a war goin' on that won't be waged in the power of our hands.
We can put our swords away, we can bow our heads and pray.
But the gates of hell will never stand against us in that day.
When a child of God begins to understand.

CHORUS
I wanna put my armor on.
I wanna stand in battle and sing my Savior's song.
It seems like I've been sittin' on my circumstance too long.
I wanna put my armor on.

Oh, there is more to what He's called us to than what we've entered in.
There's a battle for the souls of man to save them from their sin.
And if the spirit is our sword in Him,
It is certain we will win
And I wanna put my armor on.

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh, there is more to what He's called us to than what we've entered in.
There's a battle for the souls of man to save them from their sin.
And if the spirit is our sword in Him,
It is certain we will win
Oh, I wanna put my armor on.

REPEAT CHORUS 2x
