Defender

(album: Living With A Fire - 2018)

You go before I know
That You've even gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory

You go before I know
That You've even gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness

And all I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still

Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
And hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better Your way

You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
You restore my faith and hope again

And all I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
I'm just gonna stay still

Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Oh hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better Your way
And hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Oh hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way!
So much better Your way
So much sweeter Your way
So much easier Your way

And when I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the Defender of my heart
And when I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the Defender of my heart
And when I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the Defender of my heart

Oh hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
And hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better Your way
And hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better this way
Oh hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
It's so much better this way
It's so much better this way

All I did was praise
And all I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I can do is stay still
All I can do is stay still
All I can do is stay still
All I can do is worship
All I can do is worship
All I can do is worship
All we can do is worship

Praise will be my breakthrough
The song becomes my triumph
And worship is my warfare
My victory is in Your hands
Praise becomes my breakthrough
My song becomes my triumph
And worship is my warfare
Our victory is in You, our victory is in You
Praise becomes my breakthrough
My song becomes my triumph
And worship is our warfare
Our victory is in You, our victory is in You

Oh hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better this way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
And hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better this way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
So much better

And all I did was praise
And all I did was worship
All I did was bow down
And all I did was stay still
All I did was stay still
And all I did was stay still
