This video features a powerful song of faith and reliance on a divine savior, expressed through lyrics that convey a journey from deep distress to profound peace. The song begins with the speaker feeling overwhelmed by adversaries and fear, describing voices of doubt and shadows attempting to break them.

However, a turning point occurs as the speaker declares their trust in a higher power, referred to as 'my shield, my glory,' who lifts their head and calls them 'friend' even in darkness. This divine presence offers solace and protection, enabling the speaker to 'sleep in peace' and feel embraced.

The lyrics then shift to a plea for divine intervention, asking the savior to 'rise up,' 'stand and fight,' and 'break the power of the enemy.' The speaker acknowledges that all blessings and victories come from this faithful entity.

The song concludes with a declaration of security and peace, with the speaker able to 'sleep without a fear' because of the divine's constant presence as a shield, peace, and shelter, both through the night and into the morning. The final 'Amen' signifies acceptance and affirmation of this faith.

Sacred words 

Lord, how they rise against me. Voices loud in the night. Whispers say I am forsaken. There's no saving light.

EVERY SHADOW TRIES TO BREAK ME. Every fear draws near. But I won't be shaken. I know you're here. You're my shield, my glory. You lift my head again. WHEN I'M SURROUNDED BY THE DARKNESS, you call me friend.

I cry out. You hear me from your holy place. I lie down and sleep in peace. HELD in your embrace. Though 10,000 fall around me, still I will not fear. You are my salvation. You are always near.

Oh, rise up, oh my savior. Stand and fight for me. BREAK THE POWER OF the enemy. Set your people free. Every blessing comes from you. Every victory. You alone are faithful. You alone can see.

I cry out. You hear me from your holy place. I lie down and sleep in peace. Held in your embrace. Though 10,000 fall around me, still I will not fear. You are my salvation. You are always near.

Answer me when I call. God of righteousness. YOU'LL GIVE ME SPACE TO breathe again in my brokenness. How long will they chase shadows? How long love was false? But you set apart the faithful. You still hear my call.

In the silence I remember. Be still. Search my heart. Offer all I am before you. Set my soul apart. Trust in you completely. Lay my burdens down IN THE QUIET OF YOUR PRESENCE. Peace is finally found.

Let your light shine on me. Shine on me. FILL MY HEART WITH JOY. HEART WITH JOY. More than all the WEALTH AND HARVEST THIS WORLD could deploy. You have put a song within me. Hope that won't depart. YOU ARE MY SECURITY. You have filled MY HEART.

I will lie down in PEACE NOW. SLEEP WITHOUT A FEAR FOR you alone. OH LORD MY GOD, KEEP ME safe right here. Through the night and through the morning you will still remain. MY SHIELD, MY PEACE, my shelter forever. Amen.
