Lord Please be their Shield

People killed in broad daylight and taken from their families

In the midst of their struggles, pain, and suffering

Show them the light, in the sea of darkness

Be the peace that they need to drift off to sleep

They stand tall

Together

But they are crushed inside

They don't let their fear show

They keep on fighting this nasty fight

Lord please be their shield

And watch over them

Be their defender

When there seems to be no end

Be their rock and source of strength

Show them to respond only in your way

It's between love and hate right now

Doubting if you're even around

When they're getting pounded and beat

And it feels like you're doing nothing

They stand tall

Together

But they are crushed inside

They don't let their fear show

They keep on fighting this nasty fight

Lord please be their shield

And watch over them

Be their defender

When there seems to be no end

Be their rock and source of strength

Show them to respond only in your way

You are there through the thick and the thin

They are not alone nor forsaken

You hear their cries

And their wondering why's

Give them a sign, there will be light

Lord please be their shield

And watch over them

Be their defender

When there seems to be no end

Be their rock and source of strength

Show them to respond only in your way

Lord please be their shield (shield)

And watch over them

Be their defender (defender)

When there seems to be no end

Be their rock and source of strength (ohhhh)

Show them to respond only in your way

I pray that they seek you and find you
