Parody of "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith
(Ephesians 6:10-18)
(Version 1)
Read Ephesians!
Talk about Paul, apostle of Christ. This is the fifth epistle he writes
Says that our struggle ain't against flesh and blood
Says that we need the armor of God
One piece of the armor is a plate for your breast
Says to put on the breastplate of righteousness
Truth for a belt and shoes for your feet -- the preparation of the gospel of peace
Read Ephesians, Read Ephesians
Put on the salvation helmet, then the shield of faith, you can use it when
The devil starts shootin' his fiery darts
And the sword of the Spirit " that's the Word of God
Standing firm, 'cause our struggle is against
The forces of darkness and wickedness
Talkin' 'bout somethin' that's gonna help you stand
With prayer and petition every time that you can
Read Ephesians, Read Ephesians
Talk about things I know God prepares
Spiritual things that your body wears
Call 'em by name, but I gotta make clear
You can't stand baby if you leave 'em in here
One piece of the armor is a plate of righteousness
It's a get-up that goes up on top of your chest
And your Gospel shoes, these are real good tires
And the belt of truth to get your pants up higher
(Version 2)
Read Ephesians, Read Ephesians
You put on the salvation helmet to start
But the devil overtook you with his little cruel darts
Your shield of faith keeps them from goin' inside
They can't touch you if you have it on tight
Stand then firm 'cause when Satan attacks
I think you better pray, did ya think about that
The Word of God's somethin' that's a sword on your hand
And He wants you to know it and to read and understand
Read Ephesians, Read Ephesians
Ephesians 6:11
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
