D7sus     G                C/E     D 
O church, arise and put your armor on; 
         G       C          Dsus G 
Hear the call of Christ our captain; 
    D7sus   G                 C/E      D 
For now the weak can say that they are strong 
        G            C       Dsus G 
In the strength that God has   given. 
               C         G       D 
With shield of faith and belt of truth 
      G       C         G  Em   D 
We'll stand against the devil's lies; 
   D7sus G                 C/E    D 
An army  bold whose battle cry is "Love!" 
         G      C        Dsus G 
Reaching out to those in darkness.

D7sus     G                C/E     D 
Our call to war, to love the captive soul, 
         G       C          Dsus G 
But to rage against the captor; 
    D7sus   G                 C/E      D 
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole 
        G            C       Dsus G 
We will fight with faith and valor. 
               C         G       D 
When faced with trials on ev'ry side, 
      G       C         G  Em   D 
We know the outcome is secure, 
   D7sus G                 C/E    D 
And Christ will have the prize for which He died— 
         G      C        Dsus G 
An inheritance of nations.

As the Son of God is stricken; 
    D7sus   G                 C/E      D 
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet, 
        G            C       Dsus G 
For the Conqueror has risen! 
               C         G       D 
And as the stone is rolled away, 
      G       C         G  Em   D 
And Christ emerges from the grave, 
   D7sus G                 C/E    D 
This vict'ry march continues till the day 
         G      C        Dsus G 
Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.

That we may run with faith to win the prize

Of a servant good and faithful.

As saints of old still line the way,

Retelling triumphs of His grace,
