My enemies have surfaced,
they're too numerous to count
They sound the call to arms,
thinking I have no way out
But instead of retreat,
I raise the flag of victory
For the battle is the Lord's,
He's the one who fights for me
For the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name,
all my enemies are still
When I lift the shield of faith,
His power is revealed
Oh, for the Lord is my
banner and shield
How often I am tended
to begin the clash alone
By mounting an attack
that I've laid out on my own
But before the break of dawn
or any battle has begun
A rider brings the news
that the war's already been won
Oh, the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name
all my enemies are steel
When I lift the shield of faith
His power is revealed
Oh, for the Lord is my banner
and shield
Wrapped in God's full armor,
I face the enemy
Standing firm in the confidence
that the Lord, my champion,
fights for me
Fights for me
Lord is my bender and
shield
I'm always with you
Lord is my, Lord is my
Oh, the Lord is my banner and shield,
And I could bear men tion of His name,
All my enemies are still,
When I lift the shield of faith,
His power is revealed,
Oh, for the Lord is my
banner and shield.
Oh, the Lord is my
banner and shield.
And if there be a mention of His name,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I lift the shield of faith,
His power is revealed.
Oh, for the Lord is my banner
and shield.
