Sometimes I'm battle weary   I forget to use my shield   The arrows pierce my armor   And I stumble in the filed      A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side   Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive      I'll think my life is over   But the Lord he comes to me   He heals my wounded spirit   And he sets me on my feet      A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side   Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive      Sometimes your battle weary   But the war's already won   Keep your head and hold your shield high   'Til your days of life are done      A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side   Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive   Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive
