Defender Lyrics by Rita Springer

Battles

2017

[Verse 1]
You go before I know
That You've gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory
You go before I know
That You've gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness

[Pre-Chorus]
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better Your way

[Verse 2]
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
You restore my faith and hope again

[Pre-Chorus]
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better this way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better Your way

[Bridge]
When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better this way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better this way
Hallelujah, great Defender
So much better Your way

[Outro]
All I did was praise
All I need to do is worship
Lord, I will just bow down
I'm just gonna stay still
