My enemies have surfaced,
they're too numerous to count
They sound the call to arms,
thinking I have no way out
I raise the flag of victory
For the battle is the Lord's,
He's the one who fights for me
For the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name,
When I lift the shield of faith,
that I've laid out on my own
But before the break of dawn
that the war's already been won
Oh, the Lord is my banner and shield
And at the mere mention of His name
When I lift the shield of faith
Oh, for the Lord is my banner
Wrapped in God's full armor,
Standing firm in the confidence
that the Lord, my champion,
Oh, the Lord is my banner and shield,
And I could bear men tion of His name,
All my enemies are still,
When I lift the shield of faith,
And if there be a mention of His name,
When I lift the shield of faith,
Oh, for the Lord is my banner
