When co-writing with my friends, Carolyn Cates and Isabel Maggie, we were talking about the idea that just like we put on our clothes and put on breakfast, we should make sure we take the time to put on Christ and our song “Put on Christ (feat. Becky Willard)” began. It’s so easy to get rushing around in our lives and forget to go to the true source of our strength. Jesus Christ truly is our peace and joy and protection in this world with its many challenges.

Put On Christ (feat. Becky Willard)

Put on Christ (feat. Becky Willard)
By Suzanne Hodson, Carolyn Cates, and Isabel Maggie

Verse 1:
Hit by the alarm at the break of dawn
Draggin’ out of bed, I put the breakfast on
Feelin’ kinda groggy, and I’m runnin’ late
Gotta put myself together to start my day

Pre-Chorus:
Even though I’m rushing
I wanna make the time
To take God’s word in
And have Him on my mind

Chorus:
I Gotta put on Christ
Be one with Him
Put on Christ
And love as He did
I’ll put on Christ
Let His Spirit lead
He’s my joy and guide
So I’ll put on Christ

Verse 2:
As I face the world with trials every day
I need His spirit with me and I need His grace
Cause we all sin and life can be hard
This is why I need to put His armor on

Bridge:
I’ve gotta put on the armor of God
Gotta get my shield of faith
I’ve gotta trust in the armor of God
And wear it every day
Doesn’t matter if my time is short
I wanna do His will
Gotta put on the armor of God
Hold up my shield

Last Chorus Repeat:
And be one with Him
Put on Christ
And love as He did
I’ll put on Christ
Let His Spirit lead
He’s my joy and guide
So I’ll put on Christ

He’s my joy and my guide
So I’ll put on Christ
