O church, arise and put your armor on;

For now the weak can say that they are strong

D G Asus D

In the strength that God has given.

With shield of faith and belt of truth

An army bold whose battle cry is "Love!"

D G Asus D

Reaching out to those in darkness.

[Verse 2]

A7sus D G/B A

Our call to war, to love the captive soul,

And with the sword that makes the wounded whole

D G Asus D

We will fight with faith and valor.

When faced with trials on ev'ry side,

Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,

As the Son of God is stricken;

Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,

D G Asus D

For the Conqueror has risen!

G D A

And as the stone is rolled away,

And Christ emerges from the grave,

This vict'ry march continues till the day

Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.

Of a servant good and faithful.

As saints of old still line the way,

Retelling triumphs of His grace,

We hear their calls and hunger for the day
