My Shield

You stood as my shield, oh, Lord: As the morning shines on through Then came by my afternoon I was having a bad day I tried hard to shew it away. You stood as my shield when, I watched my storm settle to rain I'm so grateful to you My storm would've pounded me Then thrashed me away. You stood as my shield when, I, at my weakest, you endured for me To be the shield you've been for me Through my days, through my storms I hail a victory in what is ensured. You stood as my shield, oh Lord; It's now, the time I stand for you Knowing you're at my side Knowing your strength, nobly true My Teacher, my Shield, my Lord, Truth.
