This poem is about putting on the full armor of God, as delineated in Ephesians 6:10-18.
Tis the Devil I fight today
I will battle him without delay
Not by my own might
By God’s power that serpent will seek flight
I can do nothing by my power
But all can be done as Christ’s soldier
Don the helmet of salvation to discern spiritual manipulation
You won’t be in a spiritual depression
We put on the full armor of the Lord
And wield the Word of God, the Spirit’s Sword
The breastplate of Christ’s righteousness
Preserves us from Satan’s deadliness
With the belt of truth
We resist Satanic deception forsooth
The shield of faith protects us from doubt
With it, unbelief we shall rout
Our feet will be covered by the Gospel of peace
Even in troubled times we can find solace
And so we have on the full armor of God
Our victory is assured
