Protected
Perfect love
Casts out fear
He is close
He draws near
To all who
draw near to Him
He is my hiding place
He is the King
Maker of the heavens
Maker of the earth
He adorns His people
With diamonds from the dirt
He treasures us, loves us
Sings over us
A bird chiming chorus
He is worthy of all trust
He comes through
According to His plan
He is leading with His word
He is extending His hand
Into a greater purpose
Into the unknown
Where our hearts thrive
Over everything outgrown
He gifts us His word
His love graces every page
He overcomes our enemies
He delivers and He saves
In His hand I am kept
I am protected, I am safe
He makes me His warrior
He calls me brave
No weapon formed against me
Has any chance against my God
He writes my story sovereignly
Intercepting every plot
His anointed are impenetrable
Against the shield of faith
He holds us in the palm of His hand
Keeping us steadfast and safe
He seals His people with authority
To trample snakes and scorpions
The enemy may rise against us
But we were truly born for this
To conquer every giant
With a pebble in hand
We are lead to victory
Receiving our promised land
The grace of God is upon us
With favour, rest and power
We will not stumble and fall
We will not cower
As a wraparound presence
The Lord is our defence
He intercepts every strategy
He overcomes all plans
To deceive, destroy, devour
His people, His beloved flock
He lifts us with power
Surefooted on a rock
Mercy rains upon us
His throne of grace holds weight
We will walk in promise
We will worship at His gates.
