Soldiers preparing
for war
Anointed with power by your
King.
Now gird up the loins of
your mind
That you may be fully prepared.
refrain:
Go forth now in great
confidence
For you shall not be
put down.
Who is the captain of your
army
Let him ride out ahead of
you
Preparing the path you are
to take
Then riding alongside of
you.
Robed in the strength of
your God
And clothed in the armor
he provides
Is there one to overcome
you
No, you shall not be disturbed
at all.
God alone is your rock
A fortress for you in time
of need.
And he is the source of
your strength
Without him you could not
succeed.
Know too the love of your
brethern
Let it encourage you.
For though you go forth
from their midst
Still you remain one with
them.
Go forth now in great confidence
For you shall not be put
down.
For your God goes forth
with you
You shall not be put down.
