Shield

Firm Foundation
Jesus, You're my firm foundation; I know I can stand secure.
Jesus, You're my firm foundation; I put my hope in Your holy Word.

I have a living hope, I have a future, God has a plan for me, of this I'm sure.
Of this I'm sure.

Jesus, You're my firm foundation; I know I can stand secure.
Jesus, You're my firm foundation; I put my hope in Your holy Word.

Your Word is faithful, mighty in power.
God will deliver me, of this I'm sure.

Jesus, You're my firm foundation; I know I can stand secure.
Jesus, You're my firm foundation; I put my hope in Your holy Word.
I put my hope in Your holy Word.


I don't know the melody. I don't know the chord progression. These words were emailed to me my a dear, dear friend. I have been reading them over and over now. They are like a mantra. They are powerful. They are restorative, like an elixer. They are so powerful. I want to put these words on like armor. I want them to be like a shield. As the fiery arrows rain down, I want these words to protect me from their licking flames. I want to be enveloped by the Spirit and for Him to be come cacoon-like and for this storm to pass.

In all things, Lord Jesus, I put my hope in Your holy Word! I put my trust in You!
