The Armor I Wear

Intro

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God

That ye may be able to withstand in the evil day

And having done all

To stand

Verse 1

Pale white powders on the plastic dash

I am digging for a way out

I see a light through the glass

Holding on tight till the bitter end

Begging for a moment of peace

Pre-Chorus

Buckle that belt of truth tight

Fixing my feet for the fight

Peace in the middle of the night

Chorus

He gives me the shield

He gives me the sword

He gives me the strength

Wrestle with the devil in the red clay mud

I am covered by the spirit

I am covered by the word

I am covered by the blood

Standing on the rock with my head held high

Post-Chorus

Way up high

Lord Most High

Walking to the sky

Verse 2

Rattle in my lungs from the thick gray smoke

Hard wood floor feels cold

Thirsty for a drink till I choke

Faith like a mountain

Shielding every arrow aimed at my ribs

Pre-Chorus

Buckle that belt of truth tight

Fixing my feet for the fight

Peace in the middle of the night

Chorus

He gives me the shield

He gives me the sword

He gives me the strength

Wrestle with the devil in the red clay mud

I am covered by the spirit

I am covered by the word

I am covered by the blood

Standing on the rock with my head held high

Post-Chorus

Way up high

Lord Most High

Walking to the sky

Bridge

Helmet on my crown to keep the thoughts away

Breastplate of the right path

Save me for another day

Save me for another hour

Save me for another minute

Chorus

He gives me the shield

He gives me the sword

He gives me the strength

Wrestle with the devil in the red clay mud

I am covered by the spirit

I am covered by the word

I am covered by the blood

Standing on the rock with my head held high
