Title

Put on the Whole Armour of GOD

Artist Statement

I Performed the music video in my car as I have no money to go to a studio and/or to pay a songwriter. I then decided to try and write a song according to Ephesians6:10-20 and preceding verses.

I am not a song writer but I prayed and asked GOD to help me to write this song and enter. I had to sing it acapella as I have no funds now to pay any musician.

I hope you guys like it. Enjoy!

How it fits into contest

I wrote the song as best as I could according to Ephesians 6:10-20 and the preceding verses. It really emphasizes what those verses speaks on as it relates to children and parents relationships. Business owners and employees relationships and arming oneself against the soles of the devil and being prayed for.

Credits

Toni-Ann Tamara Baker- I wrote the song and lyrics and just used my phone and did a video in my car.
