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

And all I did was praise

And all I did was worship

And all I did was bow down

And all I did was stay still

And hallelujah, you have saved me

So much better your way

And hallelujah, great defender

So much better this 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

And all I did was praise

And all I did was worship

And all I did was bow down

And all I did was stay still

And hallelujah, you have saved me

So much better your way

And hallelujah, great defender

So much better this way

And hallelujah, you have saved me

So much better your way

And hallelujah, great defender

So much better this way

When I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to your love

And you picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

And when I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to your love

And 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

And hallelujah, you have saved me

So much better your way

And hallelujah, great defender

So much better this way

And hallelujah, you have saved me

So much better your way

And hallelujah, great defender

So much better this way

And when I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to your love

And you picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

And when I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to your love

And you picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

Every time

This happens every time

Every time I fall apart

You pick up the pieces and make them beautiful

Every time, every time

This always happens, always happens

Every time

Not just one time, not just a few times

Every time, every time

Every time

When I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to your love

And you picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

And when I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to your love

Every time, you picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

'Cause 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

And hallelujah, you have saved me

So much better this way

So much better

And hallelujah, great defender

So much better this way

And hallelujah, you have saved me

So much better this way

And hallelujah, great defender

So much better your way
