Defender
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 this 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
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
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
You are the defender of my heart
