From the recordings Songs from the Psalms and A Shield Around Me
Inspired by Psalm 3
key: C
Lyrics
Verse 1
Oh how many are my enemies, O Lord
Full of hatred, they are trying to take my life
They say, "God will never rescue him
(for He does not see)
We will swallow him alive!"
pre-Chorus
Arise, Lord, and save me, O my God
Deliver me from all of my foes
In You alone I trust
for vict'ry comes from You.
You have blessed us with Your favour and peace.
Chorus
You are a shield around me, Lord
My glory, You hold my head up high
I cried out to the Lord,
He heard and answered me.
I will praise His name as long as I live.
Verse 2
I will lie down and wake up again in safety
For the Lord Himself is watching over me
Though ten thousand enemies surround me
(yes, on ev'ry side)
I will not be afraid
