Lyrics:
Verse 1
I wonder is there anybody here
Who’s late at midnight, shedding tears?
All because you didn’t have no one
To help you along the way
Hold on, and if there is anyone
Lord, let me tell you, let me tell you what I’ve done
I asked Jesus to be a fence around me
And protect me every day
Chorus
Jesus, be a fence all around me every day
Jesus, I want you to protect me
As I travel along the way
I know you can, yes Lord
I know you will, fight my battles
If I just keep still
Lord, be a fence all around me every day
Verse 2
Oh, children, death is no stranger to anyone
Oh Lord, just as long as you stay on the throne
You never have to worry when death knocks on your door
Just ask Jesus, Jesus will be a fence around you
And protect you every day
Chorus
Jesus, be a fence all around me every day
Jesus, I want you to protect me
As I travel along the way
I know you can, yes Lord
I know you will, fight my battles
If I just keep still
Lord, be a fence all around me every day
Bridge
And every time I get weak
I bow down and say
"Oh, Jesus, be a fence around me"
Oh, Jesus, I’m calling on you
(Jesus, be a fence all around me)
(Jesus, be a fence all around me)
Every day, every day, every day
Outro
I said Jesus, be a fence all around me
Jesus, I want you to protect me
As I travel along the way
I know you can, yes Lord
I know you will, fight my battles
If I just keep still
Lord, be a fence all around me every day
