The Mighty Warrior Who Saves You

With all the good and bad out there,

The blessings and the strife,

Why is it that I find more good

In my day to day life?

Why do I wake to quiet dawns

From nights filled with no fear?

Is it because both you and they

Are standing ever near?

I know you keep watch over us,

Guarding us with your might,

But they have taken up the task,

When push comes to a fight,

Of being sheepdogs to your flock;

To keep the wolves at bay.

They stay on watch, but when death looms

They step into the fray.

Defend them as they stand for us,

And hold them when they fall,

For they rose up to meet the foe

In answer to our call.

Zephaniah 3:17

17 The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.
