Ephesians 6:10–18, Romans 13:12

After Christ’s victory, His people are equipped for the same war. This track is a rallying anthem, listing each piece of God’s armor — truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the Word. Martial rhythms and triumphant riffs embody the strength of standing firm in the Lord.

LYRICS

Intro

The night is far spent,
The day is at hand.
Cast off the darkness,
Take up the stand.

Verse

Belt of truth upon the waist,
Breastplate shining, righteousness traced.
Feet with the gospel, ready to run,
Into the storm till the war is won.

Pre-Chorus

Lift the shield, faith’s burning flame,
Quenches the arrows, silences shame.

Chorus

Armor of light! Rise, sons and daughters,
Clothed for the battle, led to the slaughter.
Sword of the Spirit, word like fire,
Strength of the Lord, our one desire.

Verse

Helm of salvation crowns the mind,
Guarded thoughts, the truth aligned.
Prayers ascending without cease,
Warriors kneel and find their peace.

Pre-Chorus

Stand your ground, in heaven’s might,
Darkness scatters before the light.

Chorus

Armor of light! Rise, sons and daughters,
Clothed for the battle, led to the slaughter.
Sword of the Spirit, word like fire,
Strength of the Lord, our one desire.

Bridge

“Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God,
That you may stand in the evil day…”

Stand! Stand! Stand!

Final Chorus

Armor of light! Rise, sons and daughters,
Sealed by His blood, baptized in the waters.
Sword of the Spirit, word like fire,
Strength of the Lord, our one desire.

Outro

The night is gone, the day is near,
The armor shines, the path is clear.
Clothed in Christ, no fear, no flight —
Children of day, in the armor of light.
