“The Armor of God,” New Era, Oct. 1994, 10–11 Special Issue:Awesome Australia In Tune: The Armor of God Words and music by Kate McSweeney Perth, Australia 1. As I sail life’s stormy seas, sometimes trials seem to be so much more than I can bear. But I know my Father cares, and he’s there for me. Chorus With the sword of truth protecting me, and the shield of faith, I can be free If I hold onto the iron rod And proudly wear the armor of God. 2. I will let my torch shine bright as I walk the path of right. With my Savior as my friend, I will endure to the end, just one day at a time. Chorus 3. So with all my heart and soul I will strive to reach my goal to be worthy and to stand on the Father’s right hand, and be counted. Chorus [Second part of chorus—to be sung after verse 3] On a battlefield I stand, awaiting God’s command. A trumpet sounds the call, “Come to Jesus, one and all, And wear the armor of God.” Copyright © 1994 by Kate McSweeny. Used by permission.
