[Verse 1] (ABAB) How many are the foes who rise against my soul? They say that God won't save me from the deep. But Lord, You are the one who keeps me whole, Your promises are secrets that I keep. [Chorus] (AABB) But You, O Lord, are a shield around my life, You lift my head and calm the inner strife. I cry aloud to the mountain of Your grace, And find my strength within this holy place. [Verse 2] (ABAB) I lay me down and close my weary eyes, I wake again because You hold my hand. Though thousands rise beneath the morning skies, Upon Your rock of victory I stand. [Bridge] (AABB) Arise, O Lord, and save me by Your might, Break the darkness with Your morning light. From Your hand, the blessing starts to flow, Everywhere Your tired children go. [Chorus] (AABB) But You, O Lord, are a shield around my life, You lift my head and calm the inner strife. I cry aloud to the mountain of Your grace, And find my strength within this holy place. [Outro] Salvation belongs to the Lord. Blessing on Your people evermore. Soul-soothing peace... (Fade out with melodic humming)
