Laura Hackett Park's song is a prayerful call to spiritual vigilance and warfare. It acknowledges the reality of spiritual battle and the temptation to be passive, urging the soul to rise in prayer. The lyrics draw on biblical imagery of putting on Christ and the armor of God, resisting the flesh, and speaking God's word as a weapon. The bridge praises God as a Rock who trains for battle.

Verse 1

For the battle is raging, the devil is raging

And I don't want to be sleeping while the battle is raging

For my spirit is willing, but my flesh gets tempted

Rise up my soul and start praying

'cause I don?t want to be defenseless

Chorus 1

For I don?t fight as one who beats the air

Give me eyes to see and ears to hear

For I don?t fight as one who beats the air

Give me eyes to see and ears to hear

Chorus 2

I put on Christ, make no provision for my flesh

Put on the whole armor of God

Leave no open door to darkness

And I take the scroll; I eat the scroll

Open up my mouth and speak forth Your word

I take the sword of the Spirit

Bridge

Blessed be the Lord my Rock

Who trains my hands for battle

Who trains my hands for war

I Put On Christ
