Jah Be My Shield

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The devil is chasing me from every angle The devil is chasing me round every corner The devil is hunting me in every moment But when I fall, Jah lifts me up [Pre-Chorus] When the road gets rough beneath my feet When the night feels long and incomplete I call your name, my heart finds peace Your loving hand will not release [Chorus] He’s looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m’adwuma Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m’aware mu But when I’m with You I don’t fear No, when I’m with You I don’t fear [Verse 2] He follows my footsteps, he studies my doorway He waits for a weakness, he calls me by old names But mercy surrounds me before the sunrise And every new breath says I’m still alive [Pre-Chorus] When the road gets rough beneath my feet When the night feels long and incomplete I call your name, my heart finds peace Your loving hand will not release [Chorus] He’s looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m’adwuma Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m’aware mu But when I’m with You I don’t fear No, when I’m with You I don’t fear [Bridge] Let him search the valley Let him search the hill He cannot cross the promise Of the One who keeps me still My family, my labor My heart, my home, my way Are covered by Your goodness From morning into day [Dub Instrumental] [Final Chorus] He’s looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m’adwuma Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m’aware mu But when I’m with You I don’t fear With Jah beside me I don’t fear [Outro] When I fall, You lift me up When I fall, You lift me up Jah be my shield Jah be my shield
