take heed, take care
lest we all fall
stay alert, on guard
stand in the gap together
the Devil is not impressed
by your faith, your trust
lean on the power
of the risen Christ
take heed, take care
to not blunder forward
without going to the well
of the risen Christ
put on the armor
take up your cross
God’s purpose for you
to redeem the lost
