Lyrics
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
But something came and shut their jaws
You couldn’t find a scratch on me
In fact that night I fell asleep
Morning came and shocked them all
‘Cause my God fights for me
I stumbled into room
With alabaster and my wounds
I could feel their judging eyes
As I fell before the Christ
I poured my oil upon His feet
I didn’t care who saw me weep
I gave up all I had that day
He should’ve sent me on my way
But instead He lifted up my head
‘Cause my God fights for me
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
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
The battle is already won
So lift your voice with me and sing
My God fights for me
So lift your voice in victory
My God fights for me
