gospel praise
The usual. had a few ideas. ground it out on slips of paper figured out a new progression for it. etc etc
Poison arrows deadly darts
Satan’s shooting bullets
Trying to blow my world apart
A mighty adversary an able cunning foe
I’m braced for the onslaught
I know right where to go
I’ll be standing behind my shield of faith
Standing on the promise
That it will keep me safe
Get behind me Satan
I’ll tell you one more time
The battle you are waging
This war it is not mine
Greater is he that is in me
Than He that is in the world
A mighty fortress is He
His banner I will unfurl
His banner I will unfurl
BRIDGE:
I have instructions to simply stand
The strategy is clear
Stand behind my shield of faith
Stand casting off all fear
A trickster and a liar
Parading as if light
Against his vile maneuvers
It’s purposeless to fight
He has one evil motive
To conquer and betray
To capture through deceit
Devour the hapless prey , But
I’ll be standing behind my shield of faith
Standing on the promise
That it will keep me safe
Get behind me Satan
I’ll tell you one more time
The battle you are waging
This war it is not mine
Greater is he that is in me
Than He that is in the world
A mighty fortress is He
His banner I will unfurl
His banner I will unfurl
BRIDGE:
I’ll Stand as told behind my shield
I need not lift my arm
My ground I hold I will not yield
Your arrows will not harm
Greater is he that is in me
Than He that is in the world
A mighty fortress is He
His banner I will unfurl
