Verse 1 O Lord, my strength and my salvation You stand beside me in the fight When trouble rises all around me You are my covering in the night When fear comes loud like thunder And battles shake my soul I remember You are near me You are faithful, You make me whole Chorus You cover my head in the day of battle You shield my heart when the arrows fly You are my help, my hope, my defender With thanksgiving, my hands are lifted high O God, my Lord, my mighty Savior You keep me safe beneath Your care You cover my head in the day of battle And I find courage knowing You are there Verse 2 I do not stand in my own power I do not walk this road alone Your mercy rises like a fortress Your love has become my home When enemies speak in darkness And the weary path is long You become my holy refuge You become my battle song Chorus You cover my head in the day of battle You shield my heart when the arrows fly You are my help, my hope, my defender With thanksgiving, my hands are lifted high O God, my Lord, my mighty Savior You keep me safe beneath Your care You cover my head in the day of battle And I find courage knowing You are there Bridge You are strength when I am shaken You are peace when storms arise You are near, and I will trust You With my life, my heart, my cries Final Chorus You cover my head in the day of battle You shield my heart when the arrows fly You are my help, my hope, my defender With thanksgiving, my hands are lifted high O God, my Lord, my mighty Savior You keep me safe beneath Your care You cover my head in the day of battle And I find courage knowing You are there Outro O Lord, my saving strength My shelter and my guide You cover me in battle And forever I will abide.
