My Shield and My Sword

I am so glad that Easter's here,
I thank God and silently cheer.

Because He sent His Son for me,
thanks be to Jesus I am free.

It's by his stripes that I am healed,
By my beliefs, my fate He sealed.

Up to the Heavens, He did rise,
"Stay with us, Jesus" were the cries.

Now with His love, I can go on
and make it through the night 'til dawn.

I raise my voice so high in song,
thanks to you, Lord, I am kept strong.

I'm truly blessed by you my Lord
for being both my shield and sword.
