Lyrics
This little song says there's a war going on
Is that right?
And it's not a war where your eyes can see it
But it's a spiritual warfare
The scripture said we wrestle not against flesh and blood
But against principalities and powers
And all sorts of spiritual wickedness in high places
Then the Bible said if you want to win
You gotta put on the whole armor of God
Is that right?
The sword of the spirit, the shield of faith
Your feet prepared with the preparation of the gospel of peace
There's a war going on
And if you want to win, put on the whole armor of God
Sister Lynette Hawkins Stephens
Amen, there's a war going on
There's a war going on
And if you're gonna win
You better make sure that you have Jesus deep down within
This battle cannot be won
With bullets and guns
'Cause the enemy you cannot see
Through human faculties
There's a war going on (war going on)
And if you're gonna win (if you're gonna win)
You better make sure that you have Jesus deep down within
This battle cannot be won (battle can't be won)
With bullets and guns (bullets and guns)
'Cause the enemy you cannot see through human faculties
For we wrestle but against (not against flesh and blood)
But against (principalities)
Against the rulers of darkness (against the rulers of darkness)
Against spiritual wickedness (against spiritual wickedness)
In the high places all is a fact (is a fact)
That Satan's on your track (Satan's on your track)
And suddenly without any warning he'll launch his attack
So you better make sure that you know
That wherever you may go that you have the sword
Which is the word of God deep down in your soul
For we wrestle (not against flesh and blood)
But against (principalities)
Against the rulers of darkness (against the rulers of darkness)
Against spiritual wickedness (against spiritual wickedness)
In the high places all is a fact (is a fact)
That Satan's on your track (Satan's on your track)
And suddenly without any warning he'll launch his attack
So you better make sure that you know
That wherever you may go, that you have a sword
Which is the word of God deep down in your soul
Oh, this is what you have to know
You can't fight this battle on your own
You need the power of God
Rooted and grounded in your life
Oh, yes, you do
This is what the Bible says (we need the armor)
That we need the armor (we need the armor)
The whole armor of God (we need the armor)
Oh, yes, we do (we need the armor of the Lord)
We've got to put on (we need the armor)
The helmet of salvation (we need the armor of the Lord)
Oh, yes, we do (we need the armor)
And we've got to wear (we need the armor of the Lord)
The breastplate (we need the armor)
The breastplate of righteousness (we need the armor of the Lord)
Oh, yes, we do (we need the armor)
And we've got to wear (we need the armor of the Lord)
The strong belt (we need the armor)
The strong belt of truth (we need the armor of the Lord)
We've got to have a good device (we need the armor)
Oh, yes, we do (we need the armor of the Lord)
And we've got to put on our shoes (we need the armor)
I said we've got to wear the shoes (we need the armor of the Lord)
The preparations of the gospel (we need the armor)
The gospel of peace (we need the armor of the Lord)
I said we need the armor (we need the armor)
The whole armor of God(we need the armor of the Lord)
But upon all (we need the armor), I said upon all(we need the armor of the Lord)
Upon all (we need the armor), upon everything else (we need the armor of the Lord)
We need to fight(we need the armor), I said we need to fight(we need the armor of the Lord)
We carry the shield of faith(we need the armor)
We can't make it any better without it (we need the armor of the Lord)
No, no, no, no, no, no (we need the armor)
We need the armor (we need the armor of the Lord), whole armor of God
So we can walk right, talk right, pray right, live right (walk right, talk right, pray right, live right)
Walk right, talk right, pray right, live right (walk right, talk right, pray right, live right)
We got to walk (walk right) in the spirit (talk right)
We got to talk (talk right), speak God's word (talk right)
We got to pray (pray right)
Pray right (pray right), pray right (pray right)
Pray right (pray right), pray right (pray right), pray right (pray right)

Pray right (pray right), pray right (pray right), pray right (pray right)
Pray right so we can live (pray right)
