My Protection and Power

The Lord is my protection and power

He is my strength and strong tower

He is in trouble's hour - my rock and my stay!

But our wiley, wicked foe

Is not of flesh and blood and so

We must become shrewd to know - His devious way

If on ourself we should depend

We could never hope to offend

Our way unless ourmeans and end

Is the righteous one, God's Son

For the battle is the Lord's

Against life's darkened hateful hordes

With His armor and His sword

The victory is won!

For Satan knows that He is doomed

His destiny's a fiery tomb

So never let there be a room in your heart for the deceiver!

For in the heart of Jesus' own

He dwells with power and might unknown

For by His power and His alone- we are made believers!

So die to all and live to Him

Whose power and Spirit live within

The one who will allow Him in

To build His kingdom in their soul

For his kingdom will endure

And his reign is ever sure

His praise shall be forever pure

And praise shall make us whole!
