verse 1 

A7sus     D                G/B     A 
O church, arise and put your armor on; 
         D       G          Asus D 
Hear the call of Christ our captain; 
    A7sus   D                 G/B      A 
For now the weak can say that they are strong 
        D            G       Asus D 
In the strength that God has   given. 
               G         D       A 
With shield of faith and belt of truth 
      D       G         D  Bm   A 
We'll stand against the devil's lies; 
   A7sus D                 G/B    A 
An army  bold whose battle cry is "Love!" 
         D      G        Asus D 
Reaching out to those in darkness. 

verse 2 

A7sus     D                G/B     A 
Our call to war, to love the captive soul, 
         D       G          Asus D 
But to rage against the captor; 
    A7sus   D                 G/B      A 
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole 
        D            G       Asus D 
We will fight with faith and valor. 
               G         D       A 
When faced with trials on ev'ry side, 
      D       G         D  Bm   A 
We know the outcome is secure, 
   A7sus D                 G/B    A 
And Christ will have the prize for which He diedâ?? 
         D      G        Asus D 
An inheritance of nations. 

verse 3 

A7sus     D                G/B     A 
Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet, 
         D       G          Asus D 
As the Son of God is stricken; 
    A7sus   D                 G/B      A 
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet, 
        D            G       Asus D 
For the Conqueror has risen! 
               G         D       A 
And as the stone is rolled away, 
      D       G         D  Bm   A 
And Christ emerges from the grave, 
   A7sus D                 G/B    A 
This vict'ry march continues till the day 
         D      G        Asus D 
Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him. 

verse 4 

A7sus     D                G/B     A 
So Spirit, come, put strength in ev'ry stride, 
         D       G          Asus D 
Give grace for ev'ry hurdle, 
    A7sus   D                 G/B      A 
That we may run with faith to win the prize 
        D            G       Asus D 
Of a servant good and faithful. 
               G         D       A 
As saints of old still line the way, 
      D       G         D  Bm   A 
Retelling triumphs of His grace, 
   A7sus D                 G/B    A 
We hear their calls and hunger for the day 
         D      G        Asus D 
WHen with Christ we stand in glory
