Defender

You go before I know that You've
Even gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory
You go before I know that You've
Even gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, great defender
So much better Your way
You know before I do where my heart
Can seek to find Your truth
Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
You restore my faith and hope again
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces, put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
So much better Your way
All I did was praise
All I need to do is worship
Lord I will just bow down
I'm just gonna stay still
