Jah Be My Shield

Lyrics

[Intro] Jah, guide my footsteps When the road gets narrow I won't walk alone [Verse 1] The devil is chasing me from every angle The devil is waiting around every corner The devil keeps hunting me in every moment But when I fall, Jah lifts me up stronger I hear the trouble knocking at my doorway I feel the pressure pulling at my shoulder Still I remember what my mother told me Hold to the truth and your heart grows bolder [Pre-Chorus] When the night presses hard on my chest I call Your name and I find my rest No chain can hold what Your hands protect I rise again, I rise again [Chorus] He's looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m'adwuma Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m'aware mu He's looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield When the battle comes near my door Your love is the strength I feel [Verse 2] The devil is chasing me through every doorway The devil is whispering doubt in my hearing The devil is counting the days of my weakness But Jah puts courage right back in my spirit I may be bruised from the weight of the journey I may have tears on the pages I'm turning Still there is breath in the house of my body Still there is fire, and the fire is burning [Pre-Chorus] When the night presses hard on my chest I call Your name and I find my rest No chain can hold what Your hands protect I rise again, I rise again [Chorus] He's looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m'adwuma Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m'aware mu He's looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield When the battle comes near my door Your love is the strength I feel [Bridge] If I stumble, You steady me If I break, You shelter me If the road turns cold and steep Jah, You wake the strength in me No fear can claim my name No darkness owns my flame I walk with faith beside me And I will not be ashamed [Final Chorus] He's looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m'adwuma Ɔhwehwɛ me wɔ m'aware mu He's looking for me everywhere But Jah be my shield From the morning to the evening Your love is the strength I feel [Outro] Jah be my shield Jah be my guide Though the devil follows I will walk upright Jah be my shield Jah be my guide When I fall, You lift me And You keep me alive
