On Guard

(G) Now is the (Am) hour to (bm) fight for the (C) Kingdom & (G) lay aside (Am) personal (bm)
trials(C Am)
Now is the time to unite for the Lord & forsake our worldly desires
(C) We're all respon(D)sible (G) for gain or (Em) loss, (C) we must win (D)the victory (G)! (G7)
Do what each one can do, forget your problems, too,
(C) now is the (Am) hour to (Dsus4-D) be:

(Chorus:)
On (G) guard! We (Am)have to be (bm) sober & (C) watchful
On (G) guard, lift (Am) the standard (bm/A) higher (Am)
On guard! Lest the fiery darts of the foe
should set our walls of union on fire
On guard! United we stand, but divided we'll fall,
let's keep wining, fighters!

(C) Firm in the (D) victory, strong in the faith,

holding on to the promises He's given us (G7)
Bold in the power of God, wielding his Spirit's sword
yielding our all to the Lord

Now is the hour to stand in the gap & hold on to the calling before us
Now is the time to step forward for God & to fight like true faithful soldiers
All things are possible if we believe, we have been destined to win
Put the whole armor on, we won't surrender, no,
let us stay faithful and sing:

(Chorus)

Come, let's all lay aside foolishness, shallowness, worldliness,

selfishness, self-pity & pride
No time for nursing wounds, we must keep fighting on
& in our calling abide side by side (modulation to A)

(Chorus in A)
