Lyrics
Shield and Song
Verse 1:
In the dark, while drowning in my pride,
You called my name and drew me to Your side.
Like a shield, You guard me from their darts,
They came to steal, but You sealed me with Your mark.
Chorus:
I find rest in Your arms,
(When lies surrounded me, You lifted me and opened my eyes.)
Lord, I give You my heart.
(There is none like You -- in heaven or on earth, my King.)
I find rest in Your arms,
(You gave Your life so I could live. Who is like You, Mighty One?)
Lord, I'm safe in Your heart.
(Forever, my God, I will worship You. Let Your holy fire consume my soul.)
Verse 2:
At dawn, before the birds lift up their song,
I bow in praise -- to You I still belong.
And when the night paints the sky with fading light,
I'll dance with joy -- You bore my cross that night. *Chorus*
Bridge:
Holy, holy is the Lord Most High,
Exalted, glorified.
We lift Your holy name on high,
Forever magnified. *Chorus*
