Sheltering Shields

"The shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted" (Psalm 47:9). "He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly" (Proverbs 2:7).

The shields of the earth surround
Our world with protection.
The wonders of our God abound
Therein with God's perfection.

These shields that we see in space
Reflect their counterpart:
A life protected by God's grace,
That shields thus our heart.

So as we walk before the Lord
In our integrity,
Our hearts are guarded and restored
With truth that makes us free.
