There stands the shield of fierce belief, Forged not by mortal hand or pride, But faith where holy mercies hide. Gossip burns… oooh nun nah nun na na But wisdom calls through smoke and flame Guard well your lips, your heart, your name… oooh nun nah nun na na The fiery darts strike hard and fast, Like thunder hurled from shadows cast, But faith becomes the quenching rain That stills the blaze of fear and pain. No ember clings, no fire remains, His lying tongue, his cruel deceit, Leaves ashes scattered through the street. Words become arrows dipped in hate, Loose destruction at the gate, Gossip burns… oooh nun nah nun na na But wisdom calls through smoke and flame Guard well your lips, your heart, your name… oooh nun nah nun na na Yet higher still beyond man’s rage, Beyond the wars that kingdoms wage, For God is not asleep nor blind To those who hunt the weak in mind, His justice gathers like the dawn, Silent until the dark is gone. Then holy fire split the air… oooh nun nah oooh nun nah Evil attacks the unprepared nun nun nah nah The shield of God shall still endure, Unburned, unwavering, strong and pure In Jesus Christ of that I’m sure! Mmm hmm The persecutor’s boast grows thin When Heaven’s arrows enter in. So carry faith through every land, A living shield within your hand. When flaming lies around you fly, Lift truth beneath the watching sky. For though the enemy sends flame, The faithful need not fear his aim. Then holy fire split the air… oooh nun nah oooh nun nah Evil attacks the unprepared nun nun nah nah The shield of God shall still endure, Unburned, unwavering, strong and pure In Jesus Christ of that I’m sure!
