Larnelle Harris Album: Beyond All Limits Track: The Lord Is My Banner And My Shield
The Lord Is My Banner And My Shield Lyrics
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 My battle is the Lord's He's the one who fights for me
Chorus: The Lord is my banner and shield And at the mere mention of His name All my enemies are stilled When I lift the shield of faith His power is revealed Oh for the Lord is my banner and shield
How often I am tempted To begin the clash alone By mounting an attack They 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 wars already been won
Repeat Chorus
Wrapped in God's full armor I face the enemy Standing firm in the confidence That the Lord my champion fights for me
