Oh how mercilessly the flaming arrows strike
Ever so silently the evil one with his lies
Words of deceit craftfully entwined
Like parasitic weeds leeching on its host.
The Lord covers me with His mercy
He thunders with words of truth
The Spring and Breath of Life
Waters and sustains each day.
The leaves shelter the flowers
Bearing the brunt of the weather
Of stormy nights of flashing thunder
As they gleam vividly in the morning dew
I am covered by the blood
Of my Saviour on the cross
Nail pierced, he bears all sin
Victorious he rose again.
I am pierced, even to joints and marrow
By the Living word of God
That searches my thoughts and heart
Delight, yes, I delight in the Word.
On my walk home
I sing and praise the Lord
At the top of my voice
"I will daily lift my hands, for He has made me glad".
