My God Fights For Me

(album: New Today - 2020)

I was just a shepherd boy
Without a shield, without a sword
Fed up with the giant's voice
Screaming curses to the Lord
Now I walked down that hill alone
With a pocket full of river stones
But what that Philistine couldn't see
Is what I had was more than me
See, on my own I'm weak
But my God fights for me

I was servant to the king
Interpreting his crazy dreams
I won't worship mortal men
So they threw me in the lion's den
Vicious teeth were all I saw
Till something came and shut their jaws
You couldn't find a scratch on me
In fact that night I fell asleep
When morning came and shocked them all
'Cause my God fights for me

I stumbled into room
With alabaster and my wounds
I could feel their judging eyes
As I knelt before the Christ
I poured my oil upon His feet
I didn't care who saw me weep
I gave Him all I had that day
And He should've sent me on my way
Instead He lifted up my head
'Cause my God fights for me

He's my shield, He's my sword
The victory is the Lord's
He's my shield, He's my sword
The victory is the Lord's

So what's your story here today
And what's the giant in your way
Are you trapped and can't get out
Are you staring down a lion's mouth
Can you stand before the Lord
Or do you need to hit the floor
'Cause it don't matter what you've done
'Cause the battle is already won

So lift your voice with me and sing
That my God fights for me
So lift your voice in victory
'Cause my God fights for me
