The Fortress and The Shield

O God, my Fortress and my Shield, My stronghold in the battlefield, The evil one,he prowls and preys, In subtle shades and endless ways. “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”(1 Peter 5:8)

But I am hid in Christ, my Rock, A sheltered soul within the flock. No scheme of hell can breach this wall, No whispered lie,no venomous call. “No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.”(Isaiah 54:17)

I raise the shield of faith this hour, Resisting Satan's fleeting power. Your Word,the Spirit's mighty sword, Cuts down each dark and lying word. “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.”(Ephesians 6:16)

Your angels camp around my way, A heavenly guard by night and day. They bear me up,lest I should fall, They heed Your sovereign,gracious call. “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”(Psalm 91:11)

I plead the blood of Christ, the Lamb, The great I AM,the great I Am. That perfect sacrifice applied, Where sin and darkness flee and hide. “They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”(Revelation 12:11)

So let the accuser rage in vain, His threats are loss,my soul is gain. For You have won the victory, And in Your promise,I am free. “But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.”(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

You are my keeper, strong and true, My peace,my hope, my refuge through. From every evil soul and snare, I rest,eternally, in Your care. “The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.”(Psalm 121:7)
