Shield For Me
In the Shelter of Faith: Unveiling the Protective Glory
Lyrics
You, O Lord, are a shield for me
You, O Lord, serve as my protector, guarding me from harm
You're my glory, my glory
You are the source of my honor, my magnificence
You, O Lord, are a shield for me
Reiteration of the idea that the Lord is a shield, a constant protection
You're my glory, my glory
Repeated emphasis on the Lord being the giver of honor and glory
And the lifter of my head
You lift me up when I am downcast or troubled
You, O Lord, are a shield for me
Restating the Lord's role as a shield against adversity
You're my glory, my glory
Continued emphasis on the Lord's provision of honor and glory
You, O Lord, are a shield for me
Repeated assertion of the Lord's protective nature
You're my glory, my glory
Repeated affirmation of the Lord as the bestower of honor and glory
And the lifter of my head
He lifts me up when I feel low or distressed
The lifter of my head, oooo
Repetition emphasizing the Lord's role as the one who raises the speaker from despair
When troubles rise against me
When difficulties and challenges arise against me
I call upon my Savior
In times of trouble, I seek help from my Savior
And You hear me from the mountain
You respond to my plea even from the highest places, indicating the Lord's omnipresence
No weapon formed against me
No weapon or harm formed against me will penetrate the protective shield provided by the Lord
Will pass the shield around me
Assurance that the shield of the Lord will safeguard the speaker
I will stand secure
I will remain steadfast and confident
God I trust only in You
My trust is solely placed in God, relying completely on Him
I trust only in You
Repeated emphasis on placing trust exclusively in the Lord
You, O Lord, are a shield for me
Reiteration of the Lord's role as a protective shield
You, O Lord, are a shield for me
Repeated assurance of the Lord's protective nature
