Shield Me
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
Hear my cry in the darkness
Listen to my unadorned prayer
Let truth flow from trembling lips
No deceit lives there
Verse 2
Search my heart in the midnight hour
Test me in the crucible of dawn
What you'll find are wounds and whispers
But no malice drawn
Chorus
Shield me beneath your mighty wings
As shadows lengthen all around
Like a precious stone within your palm
Let grace abound
Verse 3
They circle like wolves in winter
Their hearts grown cold as stone
Their mouths speak of golden fortunes
While their eyes throne
Chorus
Shield me beneath your mighty wings
As shadows lengthen all around
Like a precious stone within your palm
Let grace abound
Bridge
But I—I shall behold your face
When morning breaks the night
In righteousness,
I'll wake transformed Bathed in your light
Verse 4
All my paths are in your keeping
Though enemies surround my way
Like a child beneath your shelter
Here I'll stay
Final Chorus
Shield me beneath your mighty wings
As shadows lengthen all around
Like a precious stone within your palm
Let grace abound
Outro
When at last your glory rises
And all that's hidden comes to light
I shall be content, beloved
In your sight
