Let My Tongue Be Your Sword
Let My Tongue Be Your Sword
Rapsodie Adams
The sword, in the context of Eph – 6:17, is the written Word of God. Therefore, it is the offensive weapon we use against evil; for we do not fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness of this word, and spiritual wickedness in high places. We also see that Rev – 1:16 depicts Jesus using a sword to cut sin from the church or using the sword as punishment, to cut the church away from the kingdom. While Rev – 6:4, depicts the sword of the red horseman. Whereas Rev – 4:8, depicts the sword of the pale horseman. Finally Rev – 13:14-15, sword/beast.
In the song, Let My Tongue Be Your Sword, the sword is depicted as protection (Gen. 3:24). The song is a prayer to the Father and will be written in this blog as such.
A Prayer
Dear Father, Let my eyes read your word, Let my ears hear your voice, Let my body be your temple, Let my tongue be your sword. From Genesis to Revelation, let me read your word, From the morning til the deepest night, let me listen for your voice…From my head down to my feet Oh Lord, let your temple be made whole…To your children all across the land, let my tongue be your sword. Let me come into your presence Lord, open up your precious word…Guided by your Holy Spirit, let me hear your still small voice…Rain down upon your temple Lord, all your power and your might…Lord open up your children’s ears, and let my tongue be your sword.
Be blessed in Jesus’ name.
