This song meets slander, pressure, fear, and hidden attacks with trust in YAHUAH as shield, refuge, and defender. It doesn't call the listener to chase every claim or answer every mouth. It calls for clean speech, steady prayer, and peace while YAHUAH handles what people can't see.

Lyrics

Not every battle come with boots
Some come with words
Some come with nights that won't let up
But You YAHUAH
You been my shield before
Be my shield again

We The Assembly
Sing it

Shield for me
Fortress when the arrows fly
Lifter of my head
When the pressure rise
Shield for me
Defender in the darkest night
YAHUAH if You stand with me
I ain't moved by lies

Not every war wear dust and steel
Some hit the heart and test what's real
Some come smiling some come slick
Some use a whisper just to make you slip
But I ain't gotta chase every claim
I know who cover my exposed frame
You been my rock before this wave
You ain't lose watch when the room got strange
Whole night long I done heard the noise
But truth still louder when You in voice
I lay it down I don't feed that fire
I lift my eyes You lift me higher
No crowd shield no strong-man pose
No fake brave with a heart half closed
I pour it out then I let You be
The One who stand up and speak for me
Cause when my soul get pressed too thin
You keep the fear from settling in
And when the mouths start cutting deep
You give me peace enough to sleep

Psalms chapter three verse three
But thou O YAHUAH art a shield for me
My esteem and the lifter up of mine head

Psalms chapter eighteen verse two
YAHUAH is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer

Some Barak with lips but curse beneath
Smile in the light hide hate in teeth
Some build a story and hope it stick
Some throw a dart then move real quick

Hold up
Run that back again

Some Barak with lips but curse beneath
Smile in the light hide hate in teeth
Some build a story and hope it stick
Some throw a dart then move real quick
Not every trap is rope and pit
Some wear compliments and counterfeit
Some wait till your guard get low
Then push where only You O YAHUAH know
But from You come my help and rest
My refuge now my strength in stress
So I keep my tongue from joining mud
I won't let dark talk boil my blood
I trust Your timing not my heat
I pour my heart and sit at peace
Cause You the Judge that see it whole
You don't need panic from my soul
When trouble circle You still near
When kingdoms shake You still right here
You laugh at what would swallow me
And sing me through till morning break

Psalms chapter fifty nine verse one
Deliver me from mine enemies O my ALUAH
Defend me from them that rise up against me

Psalms chapter fifty nine verse sixteen
I will sing of thy power
For thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble

Sirach chapter fifty one verse two
For thou art my defender and helper
From the snare of the slanderous tongue
And from the lips that forge lies

Be my shield
Be my peace
Hold my head up
Cover me
When I can't trace
What I feel
I still know
You are real
Be my rock
Be my stay
Keep me clean
While I wait
Everlasting arms beneath
You don't drop
What You keep

We The Assembly say it
Barak
YAHUAH my ALUAH
Say it
Barak
YAHUAH my ALUAH
My shield

Birds flying over what they guard
That's how You keep what carry scars
You cover heads in days of war
And make the lying hand let go
Eternal refuge underneath
Arms that hold what men can't reach
You don't just hide me You restore
Set both my feet and make me sure
And if I gotta walk through smoke
You still the strength that keeps me whole
If I gotta sing before I see
You still the song You give to me
New song rising out the strain
Mercy louder than the pain
Shield of help my high tower
Morning strength in midnight hour
So I won't bow to fear or men
I won't let panic make me bend
If You be for me let them talk
Truth still stand and falsehood rot
Saved by YAHUAH that's my plea
Fortress lifter shield for me

We The Assembly
If YAHUAH kept your head up say it
Barak YAHUAH
If He been your refuge in the trouble say it
ALUAH is my shield
We sing before the morning come

Deuteronomy chapter thirty three verse twenty seven
The eternal ALUAH is thy refuge
And underneath are the everlasting arms

Deuteronomy chapter thirty three verse twenty nine
Happy art thou O Yasharal
Who is like unto thee O people saved by YAHUAH
The shield of thy help

Psalms chapter one hundred forty four verse two
My fortress and my deliverer
My shield and he in whom I trust

Shield for me
Fortress when the arrows fly
Lifter of my head
When the pressure rise
Shield for me
Defender in the darkest night
YAHUAH if You stand with me
I ain't moved by lies

My refuge
My defence
My high tower
My strength
YAHUAH ALUAH
Shield for me
We The Assembly
