The Shield

Written by Terry Thomas

The Shield

Each morning I take thy shield, in my hand I hold thy sword

Knowing I’ll be safe, protected by the Lord

I’ll kneel before no man; the God of Abraham is King

And pray there will come a time, when you return to me

Your shield is my fortress, protecting all within

Knowing that I am safe along with family and friends

Your sword cuts through the evil with its burning light

Protecting all believers who rise to face the fight

Without your shield and sword, is a day without the Lord

Evil takes control of all we do and all we know

The spirit is left alone, fighting for your soul

A battle he can’t win, until your back within the fold

Your shield is my fortress, protecting all within

I know that I am safe along with family and my friends

Your sword cuts through the evil with its burning light

Protecting all believers who rise to face the fight
