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
