I was just a shepherd boy
Without a shield, without a sword
Fed up with the giant’s voice
Screaming curses to the Lord
I walked down that hill alone
With a pocket full of river stones
But what that Philistine couldn’t see
Is what I had was more than me
See, on my own I’m weak
But my God fights for me!

I was servant to the king
Interpreting his crazy dreams
I won’t worship mortal men
So they threw me in the lion’s den
Vicious teeth were all I saw
‘Til something came and shut their jaws
You couldn’t find a scratch on me
In fact that night I fell asleep
When morning came, it shocked them all
‘Cause my God fights for me
Oh, yes, He does

I stumbled into the room
With alabaster and my wounds
I could feel their judging eyes
As I knelt before the Christ
I poured my oil upon His feet
I didn’t care who saw me weep
I gave Him all I had that day
And He should’ve sent me on my way
But instead, He lifted up my head
‘Cause my God fights for me, oh

He’s my shield, He’s my sword
The victory’s the Lord’s
He’s my shield, He’s my sword
The victory’s the Lord’s

So what’s your story here today?
What’s the giant in your way?
Are you trapped and can’t get out?
Or are you staring down a lion’s mouth?
Can you stand before the Lord?
Or do you need to hit the floor?
It don’t matter what you’ve done, uh
‘Cause the battle is already won

Ooh-ooh
On the cross hung my pain
And the guilt and the shame
Jesus bore my suffering
To the grave to make me free

Oh, the blood that was shed
It now flows to cover sin
It washes, clean, and purifies
In its healing crimson tide

Jesus, He took my place in divine exchange
Hallelujah! Grace is mine
Now I will live by faith for the One who saves
He gave all to give me life

His spirit is my present help
I’d be lost all by myself
He resurrects, He sanctifies
He takes His power and makes it mine

Jesus, He took my place in divine exchange
Hallelujah! Grace is mine
Now I will live by faith for the One who saves
He gave all to give me life

I lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive inside of me
I lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive inside of me
I lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive inside of me
I lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive, oh!

Jesus, He took my place in divine exchange
Hallelujah! Grace is mine
Now I will live by faith for the One who saves
He gave all to give me life (ooh!)

Here, at the altar, where I run to rest
Where I wait, resurrection, and the touch of your breath
I die now daily, because I’ve learned to live
In the grace that belongs to, all who are born again

I am cleansed
I am washed
I am sanctified
I am Holy Ghost filled and water baptized
I am right with my God for all time
Cause Jesus my Savior’s alive

Here, at the table, where children are fed
We are filled with the mercy of the lamb and the bread
I feast now daily because I’ve learned to live
In the grace that belongs to all who are born again

I am cleansed
I am washed
I am sanctified
I am Holy Ghost filled and water baptized
I am right with my God for all time
Cause Jesus my Savior’s alive

Glory, glory
This is what is called glory
Glory, glory
This is what is called glory
Glory, glory
This is what is called glory
Glory, glory
This is what is called glory
Glory, glory
This is what is called glory
Glory, glory
This is what is called glory

I was a wretch
I remember who I was
I was lost
I was blind
I was running out of time

Sin separated
The breach was far too wide
But from the far side of the chasm
You held me in your sight

So You made a way
Across the great divide
Left behind
Heavens throne
To build it here inside

And there at the cross
You paid the debt I owed
Broke my chains
Freed my soul
For the first I had hope

Thank you Jesus for the blood applied
Thank you Jesus it have washed me white
Thank you Jesus You have saved my life
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

You took my place
Laid inside my tomb of sin
You were buried for three days
And then You walked right out again

And now death has no sting
And life has no end
For I have been transformed
By the blood of the lamb

Thank You Jesus for the blood applied (thank You Jesus)
Thank You Jesus it have washed me white
Thank You Jesus You have saved my life
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

There is nothing stronger
Then the wonder working power of the blood
The blood
That calls us sons and daughters
We are ransomed by our father
Through the blood
The blood

There is nothing stronger
Then the wonder working power of the blood
The blood
That calls us sons and daughters
We are ransomed by the father
Through the blood
The blood

Thank You Jesus for the blood applied
Thank You Jesus it have washed me white
Thank You Jesus You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light
