The Scarlet Shield

By faith, I pray, and I proclaim, The power of Your holy name. I ask now for the covering, That breaks the chains and stops the stinging.

Protect me with the blood of Jesus, Shed upon the cross to free us. A sign upon my heart and mind, A barrier no foe can find.

When the accuser whispers near, And brings to me a tide of fear, I point him to the crimson flow— He has no claim,he must let go.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony... (Revelation 12:11)

Let it be a wall of fire, Around my home,my heart’s desire. A hedge of grace,a mighty ring, From which no evil thing may bring…

…Any harm unto my soul, For Your great blood has made me whole. It speaks a better word than fear, It tells me that my God is near.

When I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you... (Exodus 12:13)

Cover my thoughts, protect my way, Throughout the night and through the day. From every snare,from every lie, Beneath this covering let me lie.

I claim no goodness of my own, No worthy deed I have to show. My only plea,my only right, Is that dark day turned into light.

The blood that washed my sins away, Is my strong shield this very day. It is my peace,my constant plea— Lord, let Your blood cover me.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.
