Stand Firm

Stand firm!
God gave you a position
and He expects you to stand strong.
Not wavering in love or care
for the children that to you belong.

Wear the belt of truth to guide them -
keep the breastplate of righteousness in place.
Fit your feet with readiness
to meet any enemy face to face.

Take up the shield of faith
to protect your little one,
And the helmet of salvation,
provided by God’s Son.

Your weapon is the Sword of the Spirit,
which is the Holy Word of God.
Share it with your children
as together this road you trod.

Stay alert and always pray -
your love for your children confirm.
Wear God’s armor, and teach them, too
in everything to stand firm!
