My Shield

Verse 1

When it seems like I'm surrounded
But I have no strength to fight
When the enemy accuses
I will choose to lift my eyes

Pre-Chorus

I call on the name of the Lord
I cry out to my God, and He answers

Chorus

You are a shield around me
You are the lifter of my head
I shall never fear
I shall never fear
When I am in battle

When I call upon your name
The name I know will save
You deliver me
You deliver me
When I am in battle
My defender and my shield

Verse 2

When I walk the darkest valley
I don't need to be afraid
For I know that you are with me
You are faithful all the way

Bridge

Arise, oh Lord, and rescue me with Your mighty hand

When you show your power no enemy can stand

My comforter, sustaining me, in my times of need
You alone are my defender and my shield
