Prayer for a warrior

Oh Mighty God, Faithful God, Eternal God
Oh Holy One, Savior
Oh You care for us, shelter us, deliver us
Oh Holy One, Savior

Before me is a battle
An enemy of our God
Beneath me earth shaking
From the army charging after us
Behind me is a history
Of Holy deliverance
Above me, Almighty
The one who covers us

Oh Mighty God, Faithful God, Eternal God
Oh Holy One, Savior
Oh You care for us, shelter us, deliver us
Oh Holy One, Savior

Fight is raging, heart pounding
Soul burning up inside
Arrows flying, men crying
Yet somehow peace I find
And truth it whispers gently now
I’ve held you all along
And the fire inside of me
Grows into this song

Oh Mighty God, Faithful God, Eternal God
Oh Holy One, Savior
Oh You care for us, shelter us, deliver us
Oh Holy One, Savior

God bless these hands that are spotted with a foreign blood
These feet that stand ‘til the battle’s won
This dagger and shield that are marred with scars wielded in your name
God bless these hands that are lifted toward heaven’s throne
These feet that will walk in a holy home
When this day of war is over because of who you are

Oh Mighty God, Faithful God, Eternal God
Oh Holy One, Savior
Oh You care for us, shelter us, deliver us
Oh Holy One, Savior
