ARMOR OF GOD – Black Robes and Powdered Smoke by Bro H
Verse 1 The bell rang out on the village green Boots on stone, muskets clean But before the march, before the stand A Bible opened by a steady hand Verse 2 Black robe hiding a soldier’s coat Words like fire from a preacher’s throat “Fear God first, no king but Christ There’s a line no crown can cross tonight” Chorus
Black robe and powder smoke Faith and steel, an unbroken oath They preached the Word, they took their stand With a Bible and a sword in hand Verse 3 They called it treason, called it sin To say God’s law outranks their men But tyranny was the greater crime When kings declared themselves divine Verse 4 From pulpit wood to battlefield They taught men how to bow, not kneel To unjust law or foreign rule But stand as free men under God’s rule Chorus Black robe and powder smoke Truth was fire, not empty hope They named the lie, they faced the cost And freedom rose from what they lost Bridge Not rebellion—obedience Not revolt—but covenant When rulers break the law of God The faithful rise, the faithful stand Final Chorus
Black robe and powder smoke Echoes still in every oath A nation born from truth and blood Under heaven, not the flood Black robe and powder smoke God was King, and they all knew
