“Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy gentleness hath made me great” (2 Samuel 22:36). “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him” (Proverbs 30:5). “Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an Offering and a Sacrifice to God” (Ephesians 5:2).
The
Lord has given me the shield
That
covers me with His salvation.
What
gentleness He has revealed
That
lifts me from humiliation!
I
trust in Him, for He alone
Could
rescue me from sin and shame.
The
Word of God has made this known;
It
was for this my Savior came.
Christ
Jesus loved me on the cross;
He
saw my hopeless, lost estate.
He
purged away my sin as dross;
His
gentleness has made me great.
For
me my Lord was sacrificed;
For
me He His spotless life He gave!
I
praise my Savior, Jesus Christ,
Who
lives forevermore to save!
O
Lord, my great and gentle Savior,
You’ve
placed me in the joyful ranks
Of
those You shield with Your favor,
Who
worship with eternal thanks!
O
Lord, the Shield of my soul,
I
thank You for Your saving grace!
In
Your salvation, rich and full,
You
have become my Hiding Place.
