| The Lord is my banner As I go to war He anoints my lips With songs of praise And a bold confession No matter what the test No matter what the trial Greater is He that is within Than he that lives in the world My armor a breastplate of righteousness And a sword of salvation My loins girded with truth And a shield of faith In hand On my head a helmet And on my feet The gospel of peace I am prepared to meet my foe With my Banner raised And joy in my heart Perfect love casts out fear And “Victory” my battle cry Whatever assails I am prepared To meet the test And receive the spoils Of the enemy For the Lord is my banner And love never fails Hallelujah |
