My enemies have surfaced
They’re too numerous to count
They sound the call to arms
Thinking I have no way out
But instead of retreat
I raise the flag of victory
For the battle is the Lord’s
He’s the one who fights for me
Oh, the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name
All my enemies are stilled
When I lift the shield of faith
His power is revealed
Oh, for the Lord is my banner and shield
How often I am tempted
To begin the clash alone
By mounting an attack
They I’ve laid out on my own
But before the break of dawn
Or any battle has begun
A rider brings the news
That the war’s already been won
Oh, the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name
All my enemies are stilled
When I lift the shield of faith
His power is revealed
Oh, for the Lord is my banner and shield
Wrapped in God’s full armor
I face the enemy
Standing firm in the confidence
That the Lord my champion fights for me
Fights for me, oh…
(The Lord is my banner and shield)
(Power is revealed)
(Lord is my, Lord is my)
Ooh, the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name
All my enemies are stilled
When I lift the shield of faith
His power is revealed
Oh, for the Lord is my banner and shield
Oh, the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When I lift the shield of faith
His power is revealed
Oh, for the Lord is my banner and shield
