Lyrics
There's a war goin' on
And are you ready to fight
Our weapons are not of this world
They belong to the light
By His power we demolish strongholds
Put our enemy back in his place
And even though we live in a world of sin
When we walk with the Lord we win
Love is our weapon
We need to use it
Love is our weapon
Let's not abuse it
Well, it begins on our knees
When God's children start to pray
Then the devil has to flee
By His power we will demolish strongholds
Put our enemy back in his place
And even though we live in a world of sin
When we walk with the Lord we win

Meaning & Inspiration
“Love Is Our Weapon” presents Christian love, prayer, and spiritual resistance as inseparable practices. The opening lines describe a conflict whose weapons do not belong to the world, while the recurring declaration identifies love as the believer’s proper response. Its language about demolishing strongholds gives the song urgency without treating human opponents as the enemy. Victory is associated with walking with the Lord rather than relying on aggression or self-confidence.
The later focus on kneeling and prayer strengthens that message. God’s children are pictured seeking divine help before confronting evil, and the devil’s flight follows their dependence on God. This closely echoes biblical teaching about spiritual weapons and resistance to evil. The repeated warning not to abuse love also gives the chorus an ethical edge: love is not merely a slogan but a discipline shaped by prayer, light, and faithful obedience. Together, these ideas frame Christian strength as God-given and expressed through active love.
