[Intro] Late night, low lights, city breathing slow—selah [Verse 1] Many mouths in the dark say I’m done, I’m through Crowds like waves, closing in on the view But You, O Lord, are the glow on the edge of my dread You are my shield all around, the lifter of my head [Pre-Chorus] I breathe Your name into the quiet air From Your holy hill, You hear my prayer [Chorus] You’re the shield around me My glory when I’m weak I lay down, I’m sleeping I wake—You kept my breath I won’t fear ten thousand shadows Or the night that crowds my bed You’re the shield around me The lifter of my head [Verse 2] I cried out, heavy heart on a thin, pale dawn You answered soft like light through the blinds came on All my fears, paper walls in the wind that You send You are my shield all around, the One who holds me again [Pre-Chorus] I breathe Your name into the quiet air From Your holy hill, You answer there [Chorus] You’re the shield around me My glory when I’m weak I lay down, I’m sleeping I wake—You kept my breath I won’t fear ten thousand shadows Or the night that crowds my bed You’re the shield around me The lifter of my head [Bridge] Arise, O Lord—let the dark lose its bite—selah All saving belongs to You, all mercy, all light Let Your blessing fall like rain on Your people tonight [Chorus] You’re the shield around me My glory when I’m weak I lay down, I’m sleeping I wake—You kept my breath I won’t fear ten thousand shadows You’re the daybreak in my chest You’re the shield around me The lifter of my head [Outro] Late night, low lights—still, I rest—selah
