We must prepare for battle – v2

The world cries out in anguish,
in pain of the struggle, the war,
raging, ignited, burning,
costing far too many lives…
 
We must prepare for battle,
for the Enemy is present,
war rages around us, ablaze,
in the physical, the spiritual realms…
 
Put on the full armor of God,
be prepared for the onslaught,
for the attacks of the enemy,
in the darkness of that night…
 
We must prepare for battle,
lies, siren calls, for agents of Satan,
seeking to destroy us, to pull us,
from the love of God, our Savior…
 
The world cries out in anguish,
generation upon generation, unending,
stuck in the cycle of violence, of trauma,
in the physical, the spiritual realms…
 
Put on the full armor of God,
for the war all around us,
we must be in the vanguard, the gap,
when it is our time to stand on watch…
