Calvary Call, by Amory McKeever

I pray this gospel be your shield

and armor of God forever more
That the Son of Heaven never yields,
for when the enemy is at the door,
if we want peace, prepare for war

Holy soldiers be of good cheer

While we fight the darkest schemes

the Lord Almighty draws us near

and through every worldly sting

there is nothing we should fear

Sell all your possessions and buy a sword
not just a blade made up of steel,

but the kind that Christ in heaven forged

For your body is a righteous temple

filled with the divine breath of the Lord

A vessel containing the gift of the spirit

prepare for the adversary's attacks

Though not just merely physical hits,

but rather the gnashing of furious teeth

Which burn with jealousy deep in the pit

Down where the liar hates your soul,

his duties are focused on your destruction

To see you drown in a lake of coal,

he will lie, cheat, and steal if he must

in order for you to abandon your goals

Holy soldiers be of good cheer

While we fight the darkest schemes

the Lord Almighty draws us near

and through every worldly sting

there is nothing we should fear

Holy soldiers be of good cheer

While we fight the darkest schemes

the Lord Almighty draws us near

and through every worldly sting

there is nothing we should fear

Know that the strength of God never leaves us

Be confident in the blessing of the cross

That wretched wraith will never seize us

The call of the grave has been conquered

by the power and the glory in the name of Jesus
